The evaluation is based on the following criteria: 

1) Attendance, punctuality and participation in lessons  30%;

2) Intermediate test 20% (less than half correct answers = below 18; more than half of correct answers = 18-24; more than two thirds of correct answers = 24-30) 

3) Final oral exam (under 18 = insufficient; between 18 and 23 = sufficient; between 24-27 = good; 28-30 = excellent). This last test is decisive and can round up or down the vote, and confer honors as well.
