Andrew Goodall:

There will be two written tests for obtaining a credit (pass) for this course, taken during the semester, based on the topics covered in lectures and tutorials.

To pass the class you should satisfy one of the following criteria:

1) get a score of at least 50% of the total marks on each test taken during the semester.

2) get a score of at least 60% of the total marks on each test that is either missed due to absence or fails to score at least 50% of the total marks, by (re)taking the corresponding test(s), and this to be done latest one week after the end of semester.

You will be informed of what the total mark is when taking the tests.

There is no other provision for repeated attempts at obtaining a course credit.

Requirements to the exam -
Last update: Mgr. Petr Jedelský (22.08.2019)

The exam has a combined form: written and oral. The knowledge requirements for the exam correspond to the syllabus of the course.

The ability to generalize and apply the acquired theoretical knowledge from the tutorials is also required.
