Seminars

Reading material

Obligatory literature

Literature developed by the Department

Available in the Teams group of the subject and the PotePedia platform.

Notes

Recommended literature

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Completion and proper documentation of each laboratory practice and approval thereof by the course instructor. Maximum 2 absences from practices. Students are not allowed to be late from the practicals. Being late counts as an absence.

Mid-term exams

There is a short test at the beginning of every practical lab. If the student fails two of these entrance tests every further failure would count as an absence. One midterm test from the material of the practicals and one preliminary oral practical examination takes place at the end of the semester, that may provide exemption from the practical part of the exam.

Making up for missed classes

Missed practices can be made up during make-up opportunities provided by the department. During each make-up lab, only one missed practice can be made up with the student's own group.

Exam topics/questions

Available in the Teams group of the subject.
