In case this benchmark of 60% is not achieved, there is a possibility for the student to resit the test. Finally, students' work in the e-learning support of the course is also reflected in the overall course assessment. Exam has a written (80 points) and an oral part (20 points) and students are required to collect at least 50% of the points in both parts.
