Assessment methods and criteria: The minimum threshold grade for semester work (admission to the test) is 30 points. In case of receiving an "unacceptable" grade (below 29 points), the graduate student is obliged to re-study the discipline. In case of receiving a grade of "unsatisfactory", a graduate student is entitled to two retakes: to the teacher and to the committee. However, the maximum final grade after retakes can only be "sufficient". Instead of retaking the examination, a graduate student may choose to repeat the course.
