The subject knowledge on the Bachelor’s degree level is requested.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods include lectures and practical laboratories.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The subject Radioelectronic measurements is evaluated in the following way: In order to get a credit, it is necessary to measure 8 laboratory tasks out of 9 possible ones. Laboratory teaching is evaluated during the semester and a maximum of 30 points can be obtained for it. The final exam consists of two parts (written and oral) and is evaluated for a total of 70 points. To successfully pass the exam, a minimum score of 35 points out of a possible 70 must be achieved.
