To get the tutorial credit, it is necessary to get at least 120 points (out of 240 possible). Points can be obtained throughout the semester from tests and homework assignments. Specification is provided by the particular tutorial teacher.

Those students who get at least 80 points can obtain the required points by solving additional homeworks or passing an additional test (according to the teacher's instructions).

In specific situations (long-term illness, stay abroad, etc.) the tutorial teacher may set individual conditions for obtaining the credit.

Obtaining the tutorial credit is a necessary condition for taking the exam.

Requirements to the exam -
Last update: doc. Mgr. Jan Hubička, Ph.D. (13.06.2022)

The exam is primarily oral. The students will be given enough time to prepare their answers in written form.

The exam is focused on theory - knowledge of concepts, facts, arguments and applications (i.e. definitions, theorems, proofs and examples).

Result of tests accomplished during the teaching period may be taken into account at the exam.

Class credits ("zápočet") are prerequisite for taking the examination.
