Not applicable.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline, including illustrative examples. Seminars are focused on practical topics presented in lectures, including mastering numerous tasks.

Requirements for gaining the credit:
1) Active participation in seminars: one unexcused absence per semester permitted. Absences outside the permitted limit must be excused by a doctor, and the teacher has the right to assign a substitute task in the case of such absence.
2) Credit test: max. 30 points, min. 15 points required; one test correction is possible (for students who have not achieved at least 15 points for the first time; points earned from the first test are not counted) respectively replacement of the test (for students who have been excused by a doctor); max. 20 points of correction/ replacement test, min. 10 points required.
3) Semester work: max. 10 points, min. 5 points required.
It is possible to gain a maximum of 40 points from the seminars. The credit is granted for a minimum of 20 points for meeting the conditions of the minimum points limits defined for credit test respectively correction/replacement test and seminar work, while fulfilment of participation in seminars. All three of the above classification conditions must be fulfilled and non-fulfilment of one condition cannot be replaced in any way by another.

Examination requirements:
The examination is in writing (oral examination if necessary). The examination can only be taken by students who have the credit entered in IS and who have applied through IS. The examination contains test and open questions; the maximum number of points available is 60, and in order to pass the examination it is necessary to get at least 30 points.

The resulting mark for the course is the sum of the points from the seminars and the examination according the grade scale ECTS of BUT Study and Examination Regulations:
A: 100 – 90 points
B: 89 – 80 points
C: 79 – 70 points
D: 69 – 60 points
E: 59 – 50 points
F: 49 – 0 points
