Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, independent work, laboratory work
Assessment methods and criteria
Semester evaluation: evaluation of results is provided: homework solutions (within independent work), answers to additional tasks of the lecture part (within independent work), preparation for laboratory work and performance results and their design, modular control works. Conditions for admission to credit: the student must score at least 30 points during the semester and complete all planned laboratory work. The final assessment is conducted in the form of a written assessment. The maximum score for correct completion of all tasks is 30 points. A condition for achieving a positive grade for a discipline is obtaining at least 60 points
