• Final Exam - 30% (before 40%).
The exam will be organised in form of the digital written exam with question papers for download. This is an online exam with open-end questions, answering which requires analytical skills, ability to synthesise the knowledge of different topics and apply this knowledge to the analysis of real-life business situations.
Technical problems probating the timely submission of assignments can be taken into account only if they are properly communicated to the instructor and if all effort is exerted on the side of the student to resolve the issues.
Further changes to the grading scheme might be applied during the semester.
