Students have to reach at least 50% in group project report assessment; actively participate in seminars and discussions and defend the final group project. The final assessment consists of the mid-term test, seminar activity, defense of the final project.

Any plagiarism in assignments during the semester, and copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the course and as a serious breach of study regulations. As a consequence, the teacher grades the student with "F" or "N" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.
