    9. Method of instruction Lectures and laboratories
    10. Assessment
    During the season

    During the season:

     

     

    (1) Completion of labs (at least 4 successful mobile and 4 successful web labs. (2) The acquisition of mid-semester knowledge is checked 2 times during the diligence period in the form of a large closed room. Conditions for completing the subject: 4-4 successful mobile and web labs. Adequate indoor performance (at least 40%) until the end of the diligence period in both indoor locations. Merit weighting: 20% lab results, 40-40% the results of the two ZH.

    Exam period 

    - 

    11. Recaps
    Both midterms can be replaced during the replacement week according to the TVSZ. The replacement period in the two-cycle training is the so-called make-up week (the week between the end of the diligence period and the beginning of the examination period), the first 3 weeks of the examination period in the five-year education (see TVSZ § 16. (2)).

    It is not possible to replace the labs: the replacement includes the fact that we only take into account the results of less than 2/3 of the labs.
    12. Consultations

    If required, in consultation with the lecturer and the laboratory leader.

    IMSc program
    The students participating in the program can solve extra tasks during the laboratory sessions, and sometimes the homework assignment can be more complicated. With the help of these, they can get to know the topic of the subject at a deeper level, and learn it through the more complex tasks.
    IMSc score 25 IMSc points can be obtained with extra lab tasks (5 points) and the part over 90% on the two ZH is worth 10-10 points per %.
