1. The following elements are taken into account before assessing the completion of the course:

- online tasks results (70 per cent)

- final test result (30 per cent),

however, in order to gain a positive mark for completing the course, students must show certain achievements (60%) with regard to each of the above categories (no mark will be given to a student who has received 0 per cent in any of the categories, or has not shown any activity in one of them)

A student is granted 2 ECTS points for completing a 60-hour-course, which means for achieving expected learning outcomes.

2. In addition, the teacher will define specific detailed principles and criteria for completion of the course and present them to students.

3. The mark given for the completion of the course (as well as ECTS points) will enter the University Student Service System (USOS).

4. The unsatisfactory mark can only be given to students who have not shown satisfactory results in tests, homework and the final achievement test.

5. Students should register for language courses themselves during the officially announced registration period only. Similarly, if students want to resign, they have to do that themselves but only during the registration period.
