Requirements for admission to the exam are writing and successful presentation of the seminar work on special topic concerning the subject matter before the set deadline; regular preparation for seminars by studying selected materials concerning studied problems and ability to discuss these problems. The student, who fails to meet these requirements, agrees on a compensatory solution with his/her teacher.
