Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The condition for the credit is measurement of four laboratory excercises and creating lab reports on-the-fly. Further, students must calculate ten examples given by the teacher. The last condition is a successful pass of the final test, which contains two examples and two theoretical questions with the topic of the laboratory measurement.
