Course completion requirements - Czech

Student získává nárok na zápočet , dosáhne-li celkem alespoň 50 bodů ze 100 (z toho v průběžném testu je možno dosáhnout maximálně 25 bodů, v závěrečném testu 75 bodů; získané body v obou testech se sčítají). Výsledná známka z předmětu je známkou souhrnnou za písemnou a ústní část zkoušky, tzn. hodnotí znalosti prokázané při ústní zkoušce a navíc zohledňuje i počet bodů získaných v obou testech.
