Course completion requirements

Last update: Mgr. Jakub Žytek, M.Phil., Ph.D. (31.10.2015)

This is a one-term subject. In order to complete the course, students have to pass two subsequent evaluations:

1) winter credit (Cr): Cr is given either for sufficient performance in progress tests (70 per cent and more) during the semester and a satisfactory attendance, or for a complete credit test which is written at the end of the winter term or within winter exam period,

2) final exam (written test) that covers grammar of the whole subject.

Both evaluations should take place by the end of the winter term and their content, focusing on grammar, is basically the same. The difference is in extent as the finals are longer and slightly more complex than the credit test.

For further details on credits and examinations visit the website of the institute or ask your teacher.
