Félévközi ellenőrzések

After the 10th week of the semester, a midterm test is written. The test covers the material of the seminars of the first 10 weeks of the semester. Students are required to reach at least 50%. Should someone fail to reach 50%, the semester performance will not be accepted and the student cannot take the exam. In such a case, students not reaching the required 50% on the first midterm test will have the possibility to repeat the written test until the end of the semester. In case of a final failure (that is after the improvement attempt), the student cannot take the exam.

Távolmaradás pótlásának lehetőségei

There is no way to make up for missed lectures or seminars.
