Examin<strong>at</strong>ions<br />
Each semester is followed by an exam period: the last two weeks of January/February and<br />
two weeks in June. There is also an exam period in September for any students who may<br />
have failed in June. After enrolling in the course, usually no further registr<strong>at</strong>ion for the<br />
exam is necessary, unless otherwise st<strong>at</strong>ed.<br />
Most of the courses offered <strong>at</strong> <strong>SGH</strong> include exams. When th<strong>at</strong> is not the case, evalu<strong>at</strong>ion is<br />
based mostly on classroom activity, present<strong>at</strong>ions, project and tests.<br />
Upon registr<strong>at</strong>ion for the courses through the system of the Virtual Dean’s Office<br />
(Wirtualny Dziekan<strong>at</strong>) students will become acquainted their schedules of courses before<br />
coming <strong>to</strong> the school. There is an opportunity <strong>to</strong> resign from a course in the first two weeks<br />
after beginning the classes but this requires the completion of a form but unless this<br />
procedure is completed the student will be still tre<strong>at</strong>ed as <strong>at</strong>tendant of the course even if<br />
he/she does not show up <strong>at</strong> the exam. The grade will be neg<strong>at</strong>ive and will be shown on the<br />
transcript of records sent <strong>to</strong> the student’s home university.<br />
Because most of the courses offered <strong>to</strong> exchange students are offered in English, students<br />
are required <strong>to</strong> have a very good command of English (preferably proved by language<br />
certific<strong>at</strong>es) <strong>to</strong> be able <strong>to</strong> particip<strong>at</strong>e actively in classes and <strong>to</strong> write final papers and<br />
exams.<br />
