Eligibility for exams
It is necessary to attend at least 3/4 of the classes (except for working students).
Calculation formula of final grade
There will be three tests, which will include a theory component and a practical component with a strong focus on the results of the practical assignments. Since the third test will cover a smaller part of the syllabus, the final grade will be FG=(2T1+2T2+T3)/5, where Tx is the score obtained in test x.
There will be a recourse exam for students failing the tests.
