The minimum number of points necessary for awarding the course-unit credit is 70.
If the student achieves less than 70 points, he/she will be assigned additional task to complete and present. It can be evaluated with 50 points at maximum. For being awarded the course-unit credit, it is essential to achieve 70 points at minimum for all tasks. Requirements for the examination: every student presents their completes seminar work as set and in the oral exam will show other possible solutions to the completed seminar work. Successful completion of the course is conditional.
