Part time extramural studies:
All topics specified for full time studies are accomplished, but the number of contact hours is one half of the number specified in the calendar
Written exam.
Exam consist of three tasks:
1. DC, magnetic and AC circuits: laws, parameters;
2. AC machines, equipment, devices;
3. DC machines, protection of electrical equipment.
A student shall be admitted to the examination only if all laboratory works has been credited.
Students draw up reports on laboratory work and prepare to defend them. Preparing for the exam.
The assessment of the study course examination shall consist of the sum of the number of points obtained for each examination question answer:
- the correct comprehensive, broad answer: 3 points,
- a correct answer with small incompleteness or errors: 2 points,
- a reply containing only basic concepts without clarification or containing material errors: 1 point,,
- there is no answer, the answer is wrong, there are very bad errors in the answer: 0 points.
By getting 9 points, there is the possibility of conducting interviews that result in a 10 – excellent mark being obtained if the student shows the appropriate knowledge and understanding.
By demonstrating excellent knowledge in the development and defence of laboratory works, a successful examination mark may be raised.
