Progress assessment

Study evaluation is based on marks obtained for specified items. Minimimum number of marks to pass is 50.

Controlled instruction

During the course, it is necessary to submit the project and pass the exam. Teaching is performed as lectures and controlled seminars, the missed classes need to be replaced by self-study.
