Assessment and evaluation of the learning outcomes
3.1 General rules
The assessment of the learning outcomes specified above in clause 2.2 considers a summarizing mid-term test, the submitted practical sheets, 1 small home assignment and 2 home assignments, taking into account the active participation on the seminars as well.
3.2 Assessment methods
| Evaluation form | Abbrev. | Assessed learning outcomes |
| 1 mid-term test (summarizing evaluation) | MT | A.1-A.4; B.1, B.3, B.7; C.3; D.4 |
| 1 small home assignment (one-time evaluation) | HA0 | A.7; B.2, B.6, B.8; C.1-C.2; D.1-D.2, D.4-D.6 |
| 2 home assignment (continuous evaluation) | HA1,HA2 | A.1-A.6; B.1-B.5, B.8; C.1-C.4; D.1-D.2, D.4-D.6 |
| Seminars - practical sheets (continuous evaluation) | PR | A.1-A.8; B.1, B.4, B.6, B.8; C.1-C.3; D.2, D.5 |

3.4 Requirements and validity of signature
The minimum requirement for obtaining a Signature is a passed (2) mid-semester test, and at least a passed (2) mean score considering the small home assignment and the two home assignments and the practical sheets. Each Home Assignment must reach passed mark.
The final grade is calculated according to clause 3.3 in accordance with the general rules of rounding.
Students with a signature do not take an exam course then the semester result is overwritten.
The previously obtained semester results unlimitedly can be taken into account in the examination.
