18. Requirements, way to determine a grade (obtain a signature)
The criterion of signature is the active participation at the class (attitude). During the semester there is necessary successfully to write two midterm tests (knowledge, ability, autonomy). In the fields of attitudes and autonomy the results achieved in the semesters are included in the final classification by weight 50%. At the end of semester there is an examination (knowledge, ability, attitude).
19. Opportunity for repeat/retake and delayed completion
Possibility to refit the midterm tests, to repeat the examination, properly to the Study and Exam Regulations.
