Assessment methods
Final examination consists of 3 parts:
1) defence of the project - implementation of the design from laboratory lessons and discussion about protocol;
2) design of the circuit and verification of the design by laboratory tools;
3) oral exam - teoretical problems from list of the passed subjects.
Předmět je rozdělen na část teoretickou a praktickou. Praktická část bude probíhat na technickém a programovém vybavení v loboratoři architektury a konstrukce číslicových počítačů. Veškerá používaná dokumentace a návody jsou k dispozici pouze v jazyce anglickém.
