Last update: RNDr. Jan Kolomazník, Ph.D. (18.02.2019)

Student must have enough lab assignments finished before going to an exam.

Exam can be repeated. Lab credit repetition is irrelevant.

Literature - Czech

Requirements to the exam -
Last update: RNDr. Jan Kolomazník, Ph.D. (18.02.2019)

Exam is written and oral (basis is written, there is a possibility to

call a student for short discussion over the answers).

Every topics presented at lectures can be examined (exceptions are mentioned specifically):
