Assessment methods: Assessment of tutorials: Based on the average grade calculated from three written tests The final grade can be enhanced by student’s active participation in tutorials. The presence at tutorials is compulsory. The student may have one unauthorized absence. Completion of the course: students with a valid credit for a tutorial undergo a theoretical exam (4 questions) using in the examination session. The examination lasts up to 90 minutes. During the exam the student has no right to use lecture notes and cannot communicate with other students. If the exam is not passed, a student has the right to retry it.
