Assignment conditions

Lecture: Assessment of of the course is determined on the basis of ratings for audit work (if exist) (weight = 0.4) and Written test (weight = 0.6).

Assessment of the laboratory is based on: the laboratory exercises and reports/programs resulting from the execution of all exercises to be exercised.

To get a credit the student has to receive all passing grades.

The final grade received by the student is the arithmetic mean of the above grades.
