- Assessment methods
- Examination requirements:
(1) calculations and correct results of tests(27 %)
(2) students' presentations and defending of their numerical examples (13 %)
(3) written exam (60 %)
Minimal score 60 per cent.
Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
If the student enrols in the course at the time of his/her study trip abroad (Erasmus etc.), the same conditions apply, i.e. correct results of the calculations of the practical examples. It is advisable to contact the supervisor at the beginning of the semester to arrange the course of completion. - Language of instruction
