Assignment conditions

Lectures – a prerequisite for successful completion of the lecture part is a passing grade on the written exam. The exam includes verification of knowledge of basic issues and answering three exam questions. The exam is preceded by obtaining credit for laboratory classes.

Laboratory classes – the prerequisite for passing is participation and obtaining positive marks (verification questions, reports) from all laboratory exercises, confirming the acquisition of skills related to the topics of the classes. The passing grade for the laboratory is the average of all grades obtained in the semester.
