19. Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam |
Realized activities 15.1 and 15.2 |
20. Forms of assessment |
During the semester, the student has to prepare and present one project assignment, as well as to fulfill all laboratory exercises in order to gain the right to take the exam. At the same time, the written examination is realized either through two partial exams (120 min each) during the semester or through a final written exam (120 min) – at the end of the semester. The student who has successfully completed the previous activities, is required to pass the final oral exam (60 min). The grade is formed by appropriate scoring of all the above activities. |
