Credit Students will be awarded credit based on their active participation in seminars, submission of voluntary homework and written midterm and final credit test. The first two requirements are qualitative (fulfilled or not). To pass the credit tests, a student needs to score at least 50% of points from the two tests, cumulatively.
Credit will be awarded to students who: 1) attended at least 75% of seminars, 2) scored at least 50% cumulatively on midterm and final credit tests.
Exam Only students who earned the credit can take the exam.
The final grade for the course will be awarded based on the following scores that students can earn during the semester or the examination period (the weight of each score in parentheses). 1) active participation in seminars (includes points from voluntary homework, up to 10 BONUS points), 2) written final exam.
The final grade of students who earned the credit and met the minimum required-point levels in the exam is then determined on the basis of the total sum of points from the above mentioned requirements on the following scale: A 90-100%, B 80-90%, C 70-80%, D 60-70%, E 50-60%, F less than 50%.
All written tests and exams are conducted in accordance with the common examination rules of the School of Business. Last update: Koťátková Stránská Pavla (23.06.2026)

After obtaining the credit, a student will be able to take the exam. The exam will be written, in pre-announced dates. Students have to register for the chosen date in SIS. The duration of the exam is 90 minutes and the maximum number of points is 100. The exam will consist of two parts - a theoretical part (maximum of 50 points) and a practical part (maximum of 50 points). To successfully pass the exam, a student needs to earn at least 25 points from each of the two parts. Students need to reach the minimum number of points in the written test, only afterwards their grade will take into consideration their activity points. A student can attempt to take the exam maximum three times. Standard rules of academic honesty and integrity apply and will be enforced during the exam. Any violations, attempts for cheating, use of mobile phones, smart watch or any other electronic devices other than calculators during the exam will result in immediate termination of your participation in it and in further disciplinary proceedings.
