Assessment methods and criteria
Combined exam

Credit requirements: in the course of the semester, the student will solve a set of the problems given in the university e-learning system. The final exam has two parts, written and oral. The written part is completed, and the student is hence allowed to pass to the oral part, if the result of the exam test is at least 50 % of points. The oral part has three questions and focuses on understanding of the course topics. The student does not complete the oral part if he/she is not able to answer any of the three questions. The final grade is based on the results of both written and oral part.
