19.    Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Regular attendance at classes and completion of the laboratory work assignments.
20.  Forms of assessment During the semester, two partial written exams are scheduled (at the middle and at the end of the semester, each with a duration of 120 minutes), as well as tests during the regular classes, and a test for the laboratory exercises. The students are given an option to choose if they want to work on a practical project. The final grade is formed based on the points from the partial exams, the tests, and the project (if chosen).
In the planned exam sessions a final written exam is taken (duration 120 minutes). The final grade is formed based on the points from the partial exams, the tests and the project (if chosen).
If the students choose to work on a practical project, then they need to work out a practical solution, supported by technical documentation. The students work on their projects during the laboratory exercises. The project must be finished and presented two weeks before the end of the semester
