A total of 70 points, i.e. 70%, can be obtained in the final assessment. Overall classification of the course (100-0), i.e. points for the final assessment (70 – 0) + points from the mid-term assessment (30 – 0): A 100 - 90, B 89.99 - 84, C 83.99 - 77, D 76.99 - 73, E 72.99 - 70, FX 69.99 - 30, F 29.99 - 0.

- The course is taught annually.
The course is taught: every week. - Teacher's information
- Evaluation methods:
The interim evaluation will be implemented as follows:
- students will form groups of a maximum of 3 students - we will divide them in the first seminar, including the assignment of topics, in the case of a combined form of study, the students will divide themselves
- length of the presentation approx. 10 – 15 minutes – regardless of the number of team members
- number of presentation slides min. 10 – regardless of the number of team members
- the presentation will contain real numbers from the economy, preferably in time series
- all team members will always present at the seminar, if someone from the team is absent, they will speak the presentation
- in the case of a combined form of study, the parameters are identical to the fact that the students will not present physically, but will speak the presentation together
- presentations will be uploaded by students to the submission office, as the files will probably be larger in the case of a voiced video
Final evaluation in the form of a theoretical test (70 points + eventual bonus).
In the case of a receiving of 50 to 70 points in the sum of the mid-term and final evaluation, the possibility of an additional oral examination. The additional oral examination applies exclusively to remedial attempts.
Attendance at classes in all forms is solved by a separate internal standard of VŠTE (Records of student attendance at VŠTE).
