Midterm test on Basic data, 13-16 November 2023, 9:00-14:30, J-III.
Exam information
In the regular exam period, the exam consists of two (practical and theoretical) parts. At first, students are controlled by a questionnaire on computer (GAT-test according to their rapid answers to basic figures, breeds, tools, wool samples, and age determination) as a threshold to enter the theoretical part. The performance from 60% is successful. And then, they choose four questions (from 80), and after a preparation time they answer these orally. All the four questions should be answered (a single unknown question leads to failure). All questions are published in advance. In case of failed exam, students with at least 80% performance in computer test do not need to repeat the practical part. Time span between the exam failed and its re-take should exceed 5 days.
The GAT result contributes 10% to the final grade, the Moodle result contributes 90%
