19. Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Lectures and tutorials attendance and successful completion of lab exercises.
20. Forms of assessment During the semester, two partial written exams are provided (at the middle and at the end of the semester, lasting 120 minutes), tests and a test from laboratory exercises (after the exercises). The points from the partial exams and tests, the points from the homework assignments and the points from the laboratory exercises are included in the final grade.
In the planned exam sessions, a written exam is taken (duration 180 minutes). The final grade includes points from the written exam and tests, points from homework assignments and points from the laboratory exercises.
It is not allowed to use books, scripts, manuscripts or notes of any kind during the exam, as well as a calculator, mobile phone, tablet or any other electronic device.
