The educational activity is provided by means of lectures and laboratory practice. Lectures cover the explanation of basic principles, methodology of the discipline, problems and their solutions. Laboratory practice supports the practical mastery of the subject matter presented in the lectures with the active participation of students.

The study results are checked by continuous monitoring during the course, by a credit and examination. The credit requirements include active participation in all laboratory exercises, correctly processed logs in the exercise book and passing the final test. The exam tests the comprehensive command of the material presented in lectures and the ability to apply the acquired knowledge independently and creatively. The teacher assesses the extent of knowledge of the material in the form of ECTS mar
