Final evaluation:
Students who have passed one colloquium, it is recognized as part of the exam (45% score). The remaining part is laid in the regular examination periods.
Students who did not pass any colloquium, written exam in the regular examination periods laid the whole subject matter. Prague passing the 60% and a written examination form part of the assessment with 90%.
