Laboratory measurement are 3 hours long 12 times in the semester, with one opportunity for supplement measurement

In accordance with th Laboratory Regulations  it is obligatory:

Study the measurement guides

• Presence and correct group activity in the pointed place and time
• Students shall be prepared, their knowledge will be controlled by the Lecturer
• Individual or group measurement documentation  should be made in electronic form and sent to the Lecturer until the pointed deadline.

.Every laboratory practice result in an individual mark. The minimal requirement of successful semester is the rather weak mean of all the marks. 

Maximum two opportunities are provided in one semester for supplement failed measurements (typically the last week before the end of semester)

Consultation time is available on-demand after preliminary agreement

Laboratory measurement programs are based on measurement guides in electronic form, supplied on the department’s homepage.
