Additional study materials
Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester
The student is assessed based on laboratory work, a credit test, and an independent project. The credit is awarded from the 13th week. To obtain the credit, the student must achieve at least 10 points, with a maximum of 40 points. The examination consists of a written part – the final test (20–60 points). The overall evaluation is 51–100 points in accordance with the study regulations.
