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.

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:1)reading, and2)retelling.

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?

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.

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.

Is regular attendance a precondition for obtaining the signature?

Signatures –when and how?

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!

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!
