19. Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Regular attendance of lectures and lab exercises.
20. Forms of assessment Two mid/end-term exams (120 min each), or a final exam (120 min) are organized.
The student is obligated to complete and submit the required homework assignments and projects, according to the schedule published at the course web site.
The exam consists of assignments which are completed using the software/tools covered within the course. The final mark is determined from the weighted average of scores from exams, homework, and project assignments.
The exam is taken on a lab computer at the faculty, with no network or internet access. The use of built-in help is allowed.
