Assessment methods
Final examination consist from 3 parts:
1) defence of the project - implementation of the design from laboratory lessons and discussion about protocol;
2) design of the circuit and verification of the design by laboratory tools;
3) oral exam - teoretical problems from list of the passed subjects.
