Requirements, evaluation, grading:
Mid-term study requirements:
The mid-term mark is based on the successful completion of the two written test during the semester, the successful participation in each of the laboratory practices and the timely submission of the laboratory protocols. In case of insufficient test, replacement is possible one time. The duration of the written test is 45 minutes. The mid-term mark is determined on the basis of the average of the % results of the written test, but a student who did not participate in any of the laboratories cannot receive a valid mid-term mark. In addition to the description of the theoretical background, the laboratory report must contain a description of the measurement and an explanation of the measured results. The mid-term mark is based on the successful completion of the two written test during the semester. The mid-term mark is determined on the basis of the average of the % results of the tests, but a student who did not participate in any of the laboratories cannot receive a valid mid-term mark.
