Forms of Teaching

Lectures

Twice a week.

Exercises

Once a week.

Laboratory

Laboratory exercises are done independently as part of homework.

Grading Method

By decision of the Faculty Council, in the academic year 2019/2020. the midterm exams are cancelled and the points assigned to that component are transferred to the final exam, unless the teachers have reassigned the points and the grading components differently. See the news for each course for information on knowledge rating.
