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

Mid-term exams

During the semester the student will have to write two tests on the 6th and 13th week, Based on the results those students who achieved grade 4 or 5 can keep the obtained grade as an exam grade.

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.
