Lecture.

Requirements to the exam -
Last update: prof. RNDr. Jiří Witzany, Ph.D. (30.10.2019)

The final grade is based on the total score from a project assignment, midterm and final test. The midterm test comprises from 4-5 computational problems and theoretical questions based on the topics covered in the course before the test. The final test will have 6-8 computational problems and theoretical questions. The weight of the final will be at least 50%. The midterm test can be excused and in this case the final score is calculated proportionately just based on the final test and the midterm test. The standard cutoffs for the grades 1,2,3 are 90%, 75%, and 60%, and can be modified by the lecturer. The final test can be exceptionally retaken if agreed with the lecturer.
