Assignment conditions

Lecture passing

The condition for passing the lecture is obtaining a positive grade from the written exam. In addition, attendance at lectures and handwritten notes are preferred.

Lecture grading rules:

Failure (2)	Satisfactory (3)	Good (4)	Superior (5)
The student cannot give correct answers to the exam questions.	The answers to the exam questions contain only basic information without supporting diagrams, graphs, etc.	The answers to the exam questions contain the information presented during the lectures, but they are not complete.	The answers to the exam questions contain full information presented during the lectures and the student's own view of the considered problem.

Laboratory passing

The condition for passing the laboratory is to obtain positive grades from all provided exercises. The grade depends on the partial grades for the exercise reports, oral answers and active participation in the classes.
