Format of instruction:

Student responsibilities

Attendance at lectures in the 80% amount, and laboratory exercises in 100% of the total number of lessons.

Screening student work (name the proportion of ECTS credits for eachactivity so that the total number of ECTS credits is equal to the ECTS value of the course):

Class attendance	2.5	Research	0.0	Practical training	0.0
Experimental work	1.0	Report	0.2		0.3
Essay	0.0	Seminar essay	0.0
Tests	1.0	Oral exam	0.0
Written exam	0.0	Project	0.0

Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam

Continuous evaluation:
The entire test can be laid across two exams during the semester. Pass rate threshold is 60%. Each colloquium in assessing participates with 35%. Laboratory exercises participate in the evaluation of 20%. The presence of lectures in 80-100% amount is 10% of the grade.
Final evaluation:
Students who have passed one colloquium, it is recognized as part of the exam (35% score). The remaining part is laid in the regular examination periods. Written examination in this case has a share of 70%, while laboratory exercises have a share of 20%.
Students who did not pass a single comprehensive exam midterm examination in the regular examination periods. Pass rate threshold is 60%. Laboratory work involved in assessing the share of 20%.
Rating: sufficient (60-70%), good (71-80%), very good (81-90%), excellent (91-100%).
