Other requirements
Credit requirements:
- To pass subject credit requirements, students must complete two written tests and laboratory exercises.
- For two written tests, the highest score is 24 points (12 points for each test), a minimum score is 12 points (6 + 6). Each test can be repeated only once.
- Successful completion of laboratory exercises - max. 12 points, min. 6 points.
Credit points:
- min. 18 points
- max. 36 points
To obtain the credit, it is necessary to successfully pass both tests and submit all laboratory reports.
Exam points:
- written part of examination - max. 14 points, min. 7 points
- oral part of examination - max. 50 points, min. 26 points
The student must pass both parts of the exam and achieve at least a minimum number of points for their accomplishment.
The evaluation of the subject is obtained by the sum of points for the exercises and the exam. The final classification respects the Study and Examination Regulations of VŠB - TUO.
