The guidelines for the diploma process at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Lodz valid from the academic year 2020/21, introduced on July 1, 2020 by Resolution No. 216 (being an update of Resolution No. 173 of June 12, 2019) define in details the diploma examination and the necessary conditions for passing them.
Starting from the academic year 2019/20 academic year, tests – Written credit for the seminar – are organised, the result of which is an integral part of the final grade in the course in preparation for the future Diploma Examination. The concept and form of the test as well as the criteria for its assessment have been established by the Diploma Committee in consultation with the Vice-Dean for Students and Education.
From the academic year 2021/2022, the written credit for the seminar will be carried out in first and second cycle studies, both intramural and extramural, as part of a course being the form of a seminar preparing for the master’s, engineer’s and bachelor’s exam.
The scope of material for the written seminar credit includes topics for the bachelor’s degree exam common to all specializations of first-cycle studies in the Mathematics and Computer Science majors for second-cycle studies and the same scope of material; however, limited to topics pursued in the first two years of study in the case of the written bachelor’s seminar credit for first-cycle studies.
The written credit for the seminar is a multiple-choice test. It consists of 25 closed tasks with three possible solutions to choose from. For each task, three questions must be answered by selecting yes or no. For each correct answer in the task, the student can get 1 point. Moreover, 1 additional point is added for the correct solution of the entire task. Thus, student can get a total of 4 points from a single task (for giving all correct answers). The threshold of points necessary to pass the test is 50, which is 50% of all points that can be obtained.
The test lasts for 60 minutes
