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. Both of the test result should be above 60%. Students can have one retake per midterm test. Students have to write at least four mini-tests on the practices. The average of the results must be at least 50%. The practical work (results of the written tests and the experimental work) is evaluated by a practical grade. Satisfactory (2) evaluation is the minimum requirement of acknowledgement of the semester.

Mid-term exams

If the student did not take part writing the midterm test, she or he can participate the retake, only. There is no chance for extra possibilities.

Making up for missed classes

There is no opportunity to make up missed classes.

Exam topics/questions

Written exam covering the topics of the lectures and the laboratory practices. 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.
