Part-time extramural studies:
All the topics intended for full-time studies are covered, yet the number of contact hours is ½ of the specified number of hours.
1. Successful assessment in tests.
2. Passed practical works during workshops.
3. Evaluation of reports in classes.
Accumulative exam with a mark according to the results obtained in tests and practical works.
Practical work in the production of flat type parts using Mastercam.
1. The student gets successful mark in the test if at least 50% of the questions are answered.
2. Practical works are done and defended in time.
The final mark consists of successfully written tests and defended practical work.
