EK1. Written examination.
Grade 5. The assessment shows that the candidate explains the fundamentals of electrochemistry without any noticeable shortcomings.
Grade 4.5. The assessment shows that the candidate explains the fundamentals of electrochemistry almost entirely correctly, but does not meet the criteria for a higher
grade.
Grade 4. The assessment shows that the candidate explains the fundamentals of electrochemistry largely correctly, but does not meet the criteria for a higher
grade.
Grade 3.5. The assessment shows that the student explains the basics of electrochemistry largely correctly but inconsistently, and does not
meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 3. The assessment shows that, in most test cases, the candidate explains the basics of electrochemistry, but does not meet the criteria for
a higher grade.
Grade 2. The assessment does not show that the candidate explains the basics of electrochemistry, nor that they meet the criteria for a higher grade.

EK3. Written examination.
Grade 5. The assessment shows that, with no discernible shortcomings, the candidate correctly predicts the behaviour of selected electrochemical systems under the influence of external stimuli.
Grade 4.5. The assessment shows that the student almost entirely correctly predicts the behaviour of selected electrochemical systems under the influence of external stimuli, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 4. The verification demonstrates that it predicts the behaviour of selected electrochemical systems under the influence of external stimuli correctly to a significant extent, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 3.5. The verification shows that it predicts the behaviour of selected electrochemical systems under the influence of external stimuli correctly to a significant extent, albeit inconsistently, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 3. Verification shows that, in most test cases, it predicts the behaviour of selected electrochemical systems under the influence of external stimuli, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 2. The assessment does not demonstrate that the student can predict the behaviour of selected electrochemical systems under the influence of external stimuli, nor that they meet the criteria for a higher grade.

EK4. Written examination.
Grade 5. The assessment shows that the candidate evaluates the applicability of selected areas of electrochemistry to specific applications without any noticeable shortcomings.
Grade 4.5. The assessment demonstrates that the student almost entirely correctly assesses the suitability of selected areas of electrochemistry for specific applications, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 4. The assessment demonstrates that the student assesses the suitability of selected areas of electrochemistry for specific applications to a significant extent correctly, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 3.5. The assessment shows that the student assesses the suitability of selected areas of electrochemistry for specific applications correctly to a significant extent, albeit inconsistently, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 3. The assessment shows that, in most test cases, the student assesses the suitability of selected areas of electrochemistry for specific applications, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 2. The assessment does not demonstrate that the candidate evaluates the applicability of selected areas of electrochemistry to specific applications, nor that they meet the criteria for a higher grade.

EK5. Written examination.
Grade 5. The assessment shows that the student, without any noticeable shortcomings, recognises the role of electrochemical processes in human life and is able to explain this to others.
Grade 4.5. The assessment shows that the student almost fully and correctly recognises the role of electrochemical processes in human life and is able to explain this to others, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 4. The assessment shows that the student recognises the role of electrochemical processes in human life to a significant extent and is able to explain this to others, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 3.5. The assessment shows that the student largely, but inconsistently, recognises the role of electrochemical processes in
human life and is able to explain this to others, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 3. The assessment shows that, in most test cases, the student recognises the role of electrochemical processes in human life and is able to explain this to others, but does not meet the criteria for a higher grade.
Grade 2. The assessment does not show that the student recognises the role of electrochemical processes in human life and is able to explain this to others, nor that they meet the criteria for a higher grade.

The final mark x is determined on the basis of the following values:
st(w) = 5 if 4.5 < w; st(w) = 4.5 if 4.25 < w ≤ 4.5; st(w) = 4 if 3.75 < w ≤ 4.25; st(w) = 3.5 if 3.25 < w ≤ 3.75; st(w) = 3 if 2.75 < w ≤ 3.25; st(w) = 2 if w ≤ 2.75
and on the basis of the rule set out below:
● if each of the final marks for the related modules is a pass and their average is y, then x is calculated using the formula x = st((y + z)/2), where z is the weighted average of the marks from the assessments carried out, in which the weighting for exam marks is 2 and the weighting for other forms of assessment is 1
● if at least one final mark for the associated modules is 2 or ‘fail’, then x = 2.

Seven tests worth 4 marks each + one worth 12 marks; a written examination worth 60 marks. Pass mark – 51 marks, of which at least 31 marks must be from the examination
