20. Forms of assessment During the semester, two tests (at one third and two thirds from the end of the semester) are provided, lasting 45 minutes, which are conducted during the classes, final exam, class activity and preparation of a project task. The final grade includes the test scores, the final exam, the class activity, and the project task.
In the planned exam sessions, a final 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.
