Method of determining the final grade
# In order to obtain a positive final assessment, it is necessary to pass the problem laboratory and pass the exam. # The rating from the laboratory (marked L) is calculated as the weighted average of the tests in the form of oral, written, electronic (carried out using an e-learning platform) or practical. The weights of individual elements are determined by the laboratory leaders. # The final grade (marked as OK) is determined as the mean (mean S) of the laboratory grade (L) and the exam (E) according to the formula S = 0.5L + 0.5E for 5.00≥S≥ 4.75 OK = 5.0 (very good) for 4.75> S≥4.25 OK = 4.5 (+ db) for 4.25> S≥ 3.75 OK = 4.0 (db) for 3.75> S≥3,25 OK = 3.5 (+ dst) for 3.25> S≥3,00 OK = 3.0 (dst)
Prerequisites and additional requirements

Rules of participation in given classes, indicating whether student presence at the lecture is obligatory
Lectures: Studenci uczestniczą w zajęciach poznając kolejne treści nauczania zgodnie z syllabusem przedmiotu. Studenci winni na bieżąco zadawać pytania i wyjaśniać wątpliwości. Rejestracja audiowizualna wykładu wymaga zgody prowadzącego. Laboratory classes: Studenci wykonują ćwiczenia laboratoryjne zgodnie z materiałami udostępnionymi przez prowadzącego. Student jest zobowiązany do przygotowania się w przedmiocie wykonywanego ćwiczenia, co może zostać zweryfikowane kolokwium w formie ustnej lub pisemnej. Zaliczenie zajęć odbywa się na podstawie zaprezentowania rozwiązania postawionego problemu. Zaliczenie modułu jest możliwe po zaliczeniu wszystkich zajęć laboratoryjnych.
