The verification of the students’ progress as well as grading of the students complies with the Student Handbook section 10 which states that: “credits for a subject can be acquired by: a) meeting the required attendance, b) acquiring a grade and c) taking an exam”. Section 10.4-7 Student Handbook.


The student can acquire the credits for a particular subject after fulfilling all mandatory requirements for the subject. If the student fails to fulfill the specified requirement, the student can petition the teacher for obtaining an supplementary opportunity. The teacher would then specify the date of the supplementary examination. Section 10.9 Student Handbook.


The grading of the progress of the student during their studies is carried out based on the grading table and the criteria of performance. Section 10.3 Student Handbook.


The student has the right for three terms from each subject, in each semester in which they are registered. The first term is a regular term, and the second and third terms are supplementary terms. The student can choose these terms from the dates which are registered in the time table of the examination in the Academic Information System (AIS2).


Upon a request of the student or the examiner, the Dean may allow an additional term of examination in justified cases, for example, in case of certified absence. The exam in an additional term is taken in front of a committee which is selected by the Dean after consulting with the director of the Academic Program. The student or the examiner can petition for the additional term in writing and always by specifying the specific reason for the request. The petitions can be submitted to the Student Department of the faculty until the end of the examination period. The exam in front of the commitee is not an additional date for examination, it has to be one taken on one of the published regular exam dates. The original examiner is part of the examination committee as well as one of the representatives of the Student Senate. Paragraph 10.17 Student Handbook.


If serious circumstances, such as if an illness, made it impossible for the student to personally attend the examination, and therefore to acquire credits for the particular subject, the student can ask for an additional date of examination in writing, using an electronic form in the Academic Information System (AIS2), no later than five days after the ending of the examination period of the given semester. The Dean will specify a deadline until which the given obligation can be fulfilled, including the dates of the additional terms. The replacement date will be considered a regular date in this case. Paragraph 10.18 Student Handbook.


The method for archiving documents for proving the progress of a particular student is guided by Rector's Directive No. 4/2021, concerning the archiving of the documents proving the progress of the student with regard to the fulfillment of the requirements of the Academic Program. The Directive is publicly available in the Academic Information System (AIS2).

10. - Feedback on the quality of provided education
a) - Procedures for monitoring and evaluating students' opinions on the study programme quality.

The faculty developed an internal method of quality assurance for its educational programs at the faculty level in harmony with the university regulations. The main purpose of the methodology of the given system is the assurance, the monitoring, and the improvement of the quality of the education from the point of view of the faculty as a whole. According to paragraph 70, section 1, letter H, of the Statute No. 131/2002 of the Legal Code of the Slovak Republic about Institutes of Higher Education and additional amendments, the student has the right at least once a year to express his or her views about the quality of the education and his or her teachers in the form of anonymous surveys. The surveys are usually conducted online. The students of the faculty have the opportunity to join the anonymous survey intended for the purposes of evaluation of the education quality. The student can rate each subject that he or she is registered to in the given academic semester and year. The student can also rate the teachers at the end of each semester, that is to say two times a year. The anonymized survey forms are accessible to the students through the Academic Information System (AIS2). After the end of the survey, the results are automatically evaluated by the system. The evaluation of the survey is conducted using different groupings: grouped by each teacher which provides feedback for the subjects that the given teacher taught in the given semester, grouped by the head of the department which gives feedback with respect to all subjects that are assured by the department, grouped by the assistant Deans for education, for social events and grouped by the Dean providing feedback in for all the subjects assured by the faculty. The students also have the opportunity to provide written expressive comments, that is to say comments which are not in the form of a choice in a multiple choice question. The comments are only visible after the approval of the assistant Dean.


The quality assurance committee of the faculty analyzes the results of these surveys once a year.


The academic senate of the faculty analyzes the result of these surveys as part of the regular yearly report of the faculty.


The scientific committee of the faculty analyzes the result of the report provided by the senate yearly, based on the reports provided by the senate.

b) - Results of student feedback and related measures to improve the study programme quality.

As a result of the feedback provided by the students during the survey, the faculty implements the necessary policies with the goal of quality improvement of its educational programs. These necessary policies are implemented in each level of the education.
