Requirements for awarding credit points

Written exam. Exam consists of:
Two questions of the theoretical part;
The task of the topics learned in the study course in practical works.

The student is admitted to the examination only if all tests and laboratory works are counted.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Preparing for tests

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

Evaluation of study results is based on the student's answers during the examination. It is also possible to get a maximum rating of 10 (excellent) if all the work is done on time, and the student has given the appropriate knowledge.
