  8. Tests and exams • A written+oral exam (obligatory). • 2 progress tests. • In order to take the second test, you need to pass the first test. • If you fail the second test, the first test will not count. • 2 passed progress tests = a written part of the exam.

  9. Tests and exams • Not satisfied with the mark? – Take the whole test in the exam term. • Contents of the tests – everything covered in the class or as a HW assignment. • An oral exam – duration and time. • An oral exam – contents – 2 parts: • reading, and • retelling.

  10. Tests and exams • 2 positive marks (at written and oral exams) = a passed exam • The validity of progress tests - until the end of the school year. • The validity of written exams –three successive exam terms (both regular and irregular). • Recording marks after tests? • Not satisfied with the final mark?

  11. Classroom behaviour • Try not to be late. • Try not to leave the classroom before the break. • Try to be quiet. • Try to engage in all classroom activities. • Try to do your HW regularly. • Try to respect your peers and professors.

  12. office behaviour • Respect other students waiting their line. • Number of students allowed in front of my office + reasons for the restriction? • Respect the dates and times designated for recording progress test marks! • NEVER interrupt and disturb students taking their oral part of the exam. • If you have not been a regular student, do not ask the professor to give you an instant course in English for Economists.

  13. Attendance • Is regular attendance a precondition for obtaining the signature? • Signatures –when and how?

  14. Advice • Study regularly (if possible, after each class). • Always do your homework! • If something is unclear, ask the professor immediately or during the office hours. • Try to speak as much as possible, even if you feel unsure and uncomfortable – I appreciate it!

  15. Advice • Participation in classroom activities leaves a positive impression on the professor. • It, to a great extent, influences your final mark. • Show signs of cooperation and willingness to study. • Visit the website of the Faculty regularly – a lot of course information there + results and schedules!
