Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
There are 2 written tests during the semester, always after completing a major topic. Providing student obtains at least 51% of correct answers, he/she can sign for the final oral exam. The exam consists of short test to solve few problems and an oral part consisting of 2 questions. Grading is in accordance with the Study manual from A to F. Obtaining F grade means that the student did not finish the course.
