Grading is based on weighted average from the grades of different assignments. All the assignments need to be passed, as well as 100 % attendance to the lab exercises is required. The weighting of different assignment is as follows: soil organisms 30 %, soil properties 30 %, geotechnology 20 % and exam 20 %.
Geotechnology part includes two short tests in the Moodle (min. 40 % correct answers to pass the test). In order to pass the final exam, minimum of 50 % correct answers is needed.
