Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Acknowledgement of the course is in accord with the Code of Studies and Examinations. Participation is both the lectures and the practices is obligatory. Maximum three absences can be accepted both from lectures and practices. Two compulsory midterm tests (on the topics of the lectures and practices) will be written during the semester on the 7th and the 12th weeks. One of the test result should be above 60%. One re-take chance is allowed at the 14th weak of the semester.

Mid-term exams

Making up for missed classes

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

Exam topics/questions

Written test covering the topics of the lectures and the seminars. The result of the first part of the written exam (Minimum Written Test) should be at least 80%. In the case of the third ("C") exam the written exam is evaluated regardless the result of the Minimum Written Test. The list of the possible questions of the Minimum Written Test is announced on the Neptun system. The result of the written exam must be above 60%. The final grade is based on results of the midterm tests and the written exam. Maximum contribution of the results of the midterm tests to the total score of the written exam is 25%. Participation on the first exam is compulsory. The result of the written test must be above 60%. The final grade is based on results of the midterm tests and the written test. Maximum contribution of the results of the midterm tests to to the total score of the written test can be 25%. Participation on the first exam is compulsory.
