  17. Grading before the final exam: Points (%) National grade ECTS grade Unsuccessful grades: 0-24 nedovoljan (1) F (unsuccessful – considerable work reqiured) 25-39 nedovoljan (1) FX* (unsuccessful – some work reqiured) * LV, seminars/homeworks, final exam (AV) Pass grades: 40-55 dovoljan (2) D 56-70 dobar (3) C 71-85 vrlo dobar (4) B 86-100 izvrstan (5) A Final exam in lectures (P): grade validation – eventually to be cancelled Option: midterm exams/colloquiums of lectures (P) instead – eventually to become mandatory ELEKTROTEHNIČKI FAKULTET OSIJEK FACULTY OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IN OSIJEK “Bologna Before Bologna” Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Osijek “3 years later” Title Background Bologna Programs Quality Assurance Tutor System Information System ECTS Grading Criteria Problems&Tasks Lifelong learning ECTS Grading Criteria

  18. Insufficent teaching staff resulted in larger groups of students for lectures and problem solving Lectures (P): 100 to 200 students – 1st year 50 to 150 students – 2nd year 50 to 60 students – 3rd year Problem solving (AV): 50 to 60 students Laboratory practice (LV/KV): 15 to 16 students Primary goal: to increase the number of theachers (profesors!) = increase the quality (enables smaller groups, sofisticated grading criteria, more individual work with students) Insufficent space and equipment laboratory problem is solved continously, but is to be finally solved by the end of the 2nd phase of Campus reconstruction (in 2007/2008) and particulary the 3rd phase (expected in 5-10 years) Teachers/student exchange ???
