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. The practical exam takes place at the end of the semester.

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.
