Eligibility for exams

Presence at 75% of classes is a condition for obtaining a grade.

Calculation formula of final grade

The grade is an arithmetic mean of individual practical works.

Classification improvement

It is possible to submit the second version of one practical assignment under the following conditions:

The grade of the second version of the assignment cannot exceed the grade of the first version by more than two values.
