Assessment methods: Completion of the course: students holding a valid pass a written exam exercises showing the open issues to be addressed in the examination session . If the exam will not be counted for the first time the student has the right to seem him again within a bugfix . Assessment exercises: written tests to assess the current rating (based on oral statements ) progress in science and activity. Attendance at the exercises is mandatory ; student can have only one unexcused absence. In the absence excused student is required to pass the relevant part of the material. Assessment exercises based on the average ratings .
