Assessment methods: Assessment of computer labs: During the semester there are two written tests and a project. Attendance at the computer lab is mandatory. The student can have only one unexcused absence. The final assessment of the computer lab is done based on tests and the project. The assessment is also affected by the activity of students during the lab. Completion of the course: Students holding a positive credit for a computer lab automatically receive the credit for the course.
