Requirements to the exam
Last update: Vendulka Votípková (25.05.2018)

Semester Credit Requirements:
1. Attendance at seminaries (one absence may be tolerated) and full attendance at laboratories are required. Lab coats at laboratories are obligatory.
2. The laboratory protocols should be approved by the teacher in charge.
3. The subject matter is controlled by four tests. Three attempts only are allowed.

Final exam:
In order to register for the exam it is necessary to have obtained credit and fulfill all the prerequisites. The requirements for the exam are given by the extent of lectures, seminars, and laboratories.
Final exam consists of the written and oral parts.
To pass the written test, 66 per cent of all questions should be correctly answered. Once a student passed the written test, he or she may advance to the oral exam. Each drawn question sheet contains two particular questions.
In case a student fails at the oral exam, he or she should repeat both the written and oral part. During the exam period, three exam attempts only are allowed.
