Earlier possibility to pass a subject

Description of the practice

So-called zeros or year-long assignments, by which an exam can be avoided. In the course of a semester, the student earns points for activity, work in class, work at home, etc., so that he or she receives credit without being obliged to write an exam, which often does not coincide with knowledge but rather with the ability to memorise, or alternatively is given the opportunity to write an exam at an earlier date – before the examination session, so that the student can receive a longer break between semesters as a reward.

Key elements of practice

– the opportunity to pass a subject earlier, which translates into reduced stress and satisfaction
– consolidation of knowledge during the year, avoiding the “forget it or forget it” situation
– verification of knowledge in the traditional way (exam) or on an ongoing basis in class
