Last update: RNDr. David Bednárek, Ph.D. (07.06.2019)

The credit is awarded for acquiring a required number of points from homework assignments, which are in the form of small software projects in C++, and for passing an oral exam, while the oral exam can be replaced by obtaining a higher number of homework points. The point limits applicable for a given year are published at the beginning of the semester.
