Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Maximum of 25 % absence allowed

Mid-term exams

During the semester the students write mid-term test. Based on the result the students can be exempted from some parts of the colloquium.

Making up for missed classes

Acceptance of the semester: presence at least 75% of the lectures. Completion and proper documentation of each laboratory practice and approval thereof by the course instructor. Maximum 3 absences from practices are allowed. Students are not allowed to be late from the practicals. Being late counts as an absence. Missed practices can be made up on the basis of discussion with the lab instructor.
