Assignment conditions

Lecture – the main condition to get a pass  are sufficient marks in written or oral tests conducted at least once per semester.

Laboratory – the passing condition is to obtain positive marks from all laboratory exercises to be planned during the semester.

Calculation of the final grade: lecture 50% + laboratory 50%
