Letter grades and the coefficient of each grade are given below.

Students' success in the courses is measured by various mid-term evaluations and final exams. The instructor determines what the in-semester assessments will be. These usually consist of at least two midterm exams, quizzes, workshops and presentations. The contribution of various studies to the final grade is determined by the instructor and announced at the beginning of the semester. Exams are usually written.
