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 that are conducted during the classes, testing of laboratory exercises and possible preparation of a project task. The points from the partial exams, tests and the project task are included in the final grade.
In the planned exam sessions, a written exam is taken (duration 120 minutes). The points from the written exam, the tests, and the project task are included in the final grade.
The student completes the project assignment during the laboratory exercises and must demonstrate a practical solution and technical documentation two weeks before the end of the semester.
During the exam, it is not allowed to use books, scripts, manuscripts or notes of any kind, as well as a calculator, mobile phone, tablet or any other electronic device. mobile phone, tablet or any other electronic device
