Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, Practical classes
Assessment methods and criteria
Semester control includes homework, tests and defense of practical work. The evaluation is based on a 100-point system. The maximum / minimum number of points that can be obtained by a student during the semester assessment is 60 points / 36 points. The final evaluation is conducted in the form of a test. The maximum / minimum number of points that can be obtained by a student on a credit of 20 points / 14 points. The test is taken by students who did not score 60 points during the semester assessment.
