Warunki zaliczenia

Lecture: Exam. The course credit is obtained by passing a final written exam composed of tasks of varying degrees of difficulty.

Class: Written test. A student is required to obtain at least the lowest passing grade from the test organized during class.

To be admitted to the exam a student must receive a credit for the class.

Final grade: weighted average of grades from exam (60%) and class (40%).
