Assessment methods
Requirements for completion of the course:
a) processing and submission of WCT (work corrected by tutor) with classification as passed. In the case of classification failed a student will not be admitted to the exam. In the case of classification passed will the WCT be reflected in the final classification (up to 4 points), according to an assessment of the teacher;
b) completion (passing) of the exam. Condition (points assessment) for the successful completion (passing) of the exam is not strictly defined, because the final classification is influenced by the WCT as well (see above).
The exam and final classification

Warning: Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
