Assessment

During the semester, the students will write three midterm tests, each of them with maximum of 10 points. There will be a possibility to obtain points for the activity in the form of calculating examples by the blackboard (approximately 1-3 points for one example depending on its difficulty and on knowledge of the student).
The subject will be assigned to student if he/she obtains at least 20 points.

Exam

The subject must be assigned before passing the exam.
The exam will be in written form and it will consist of both theoretical and practical part. Three sheets of A4 format with students' own notes are allowed. Calculators and other electronics are not allowed. Maximum number of points is 100. The final mark will be:

A ... 90-100 points
B ... 80-89 points
