• Regular visiting of the lectures
• Successful performance on all practical lectures (laboratory courses) and completion of the two midterm tests

The acceptance of the semester is certified by the signature of the authorized lecturer. More than five weeks of absence in a semester results in an automatic exclusion from the semester (cf. Student’s guide).

The students will receive a grade based on their performance. For acceptance the average of these test grades should be at least 2 (>60%) and it will be used for the calculation of practical mark (see point 4. below). Retake of failed quizzes or verbal presentation is not possible.
• There are only 2 possibilities for attending different practical groups during the semesters, these were noted by the lab teachers. Above these 2 possibilities, the practical is not accepted.

The dates and times of two midterm tests will be given in the detailed Practical Topic List. Minimum acceptance level of completion is 60.5% of the maximal scores (100%). Failed midterm test can be retaken during the semester only once. If the student cannot attend in the retake midterm, it will be accepted as a failed test.

excellent (5)

The final grades will be based on the average of two midterm tests and quizzes or oral performances during practical. If one of the three grades is unsatisfactory, the semester will not be accepted. In this case the student should take oral examination about the topics of the whole semester.  Without this successful retake exam the acceptance of the semester will not be certified by the signature of the head of department.
