General rules
Requirements: a. During semester: 2 midterms of the maximum score of 30 - 30.     Condition of passing the subject and receiving term mark: passing each midterm of at least 10 points. b. During exam term: no exams. c. No exams during semester. Additional possibilities: Any one of the midterms can be replaced (improved) during both the semester and the week of replacements, but only one of them can be replaced (improved). To replace (improve) a midterm during the week of replacements students have to register for a “signature replacing exam” in Neptun system and pay extra service fee. The conditions (including the subject) of the replacing (improving) midterms are the same as the ones of the ordinary midterms. The result of the improving midterm overwrites the one of the improved midterm.
