| 20. Forms of assessment | During the semester there are two written partial exams (at the middle and at the end of semester, with duration of 120 minutes). The student can participate in optional team project assignment that should be finished until the end of semester. The final grade is formed as a sum of the results from the partial exams, the laboratory excersises and the project assignments. In the exam sessions there is written exam (duration 120 minutes). The final grade is formed as a sum of the results from the written exam, the laboratory excersises and the project assignments. During the exam it is not allowed to use literature or notes, neither calculators, mobile phones or other electronic devices |
