| Criteria for evaluation |
Regular homework exercises that must be submitted online via Moodle. The homework exercises are worth 20 points. Written exam at the end of the semester with 80 points. To be eligible for the exam, students have to be positive in the homework exercises. There is a possibility to repeat the exam in case of negative results or scheduling issues (retry exam). The exam consists of theoretical and practical questions. It lasts 90 minutes.
Final grades will be given as follows:
| Points | Grade |
|---|
| 87.5 - 100.0 | 1 |
| 75.0 – 87.0 | 2 |
