VIII.1. Applying the assessment system in effect before 30 August 1999

161. Learning outcomes achieved before 30 August 1999 were assessed using the following assessment system:

161.1. grade 5 or “very good” – demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the course;

161.2. grade 4 or “good” – demonstrates good knowledge of the course, with errors in questions of inconsequential or secondary importance;

161.3. grade 3 or “satisfactory” – demonstrates basic knowledge of the essentials of the course, with errors in questions of consequential and principal nature;

161.4. negative grade 2 or “insufficient” – demonstrates inadequate knowledge of the essentials of the course.

162. Diploma supplements issued to the students who have been assessed according to two assessment systems show the grades in both scales (used before 30 August 1999 and from 30 August 1999) and include explanations about both grading scales.

163. The diploma with distinction (cum laude) is awarded to the students whose grades received before 30 August 1999 are “very good” in 75% of assessments and do not include any “satisfactory” grades. The grades received as of 30 August 1999 must meet the requirements established by the minister of education and research for granting diplomas with distinction (cum laude).
