Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester

cvičení (40b) - písemný test přepočty stavů 10b, písemný test spalování 20b, program 10 b, možnost jen jedné opravy písemného testu (počítá se poslední dva testy), min. počet bodů 15b; - v případě nepřítomnosti u testu nutnost dodání dokladu od doktora, náhradní termín ihned po uzdravení. Přistižení při opisování = nula bodů z písemky; - odevzdání programu je k vyhlášenému termínu, každý den zpoždění = mínus jeden bod.
