Completion methods

Method 1

Description:

Course is consisted of lectures, home exercises and a laboratory work. At the end of course there will be an exam.

Evaluation criteria:

At least half of the total points (max 72) is required for passing. The total points consist of three different elements: exam (48 points), exercises (12 points), laboratory work (12 points). Lack of exercise points can be compensated with exam points, in which case the maximum points in the exam are 60.
