Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Acknowledgment of the course is in accord with the Code of Studies and Examinations. Participation in both the lectures and the seminars is obligatory. A maximum of three absences can be accepted from the lectures and the practices. Two compulsory midterm tests (on the topics of the lectures and the seminars) will be written during the semester on the 7th and the 12th weeks. One of the test results should be above 60%, and the average of the tests should be above 50%. One retake test is allowed on the 14th week of the semester. The result of the retake test is added to the previous two.

Mid-term exams

One of the test results should be above 60%, and the average of the tests should be above 50%. One retake test is allowed in the 14th week of the semester. The result of the retake test is added to the previous two.

Making up for missed classes

There is no opportunity to make up missed classes (lectures and seminars).

Exam topics/questions

An oral exam covering the topics of the lectures and seminars. Before the exam, students should take a Minimum Requirement Test, the result of which should be at least 80%. Information on the topics of the Minimum Requirement Tests and the list of questions of the Find exam is available on the Institute's home page.
