Metody i kryteria oceniania:

To get credit for this course student has to pass both: classes and lecture. During classes there are two written exams. The first exam (Class Exam part I - in April) is based on the first three (or four) problem sets solved during lab sessions. The second exam (Class Exam part II - in June) is based on the remaining problem sets. Class exams check problem solving skills and contain no purely theorethical questions. The latter form the main content of the Final Exam, that takes place in the Summer Exam Session and is based on the lecture and BMA textbook. Students must get credit from classes to take the Final Exam. That means a student must get at least 50 percent of total number of points that are possible to earn during both parts of the Class Exam. The Retake Class Exam will be held in September (both parts during one day with a break) during Summer Retake Exam Session before the Retake Final Exam. For each student there are no more than two attempts to take each exam. Failing to breach the 50% mark from the Class Exam results in loosing one attempt to take the Final Exam. The only opportunity to do it would be in September after passing the Class Exam. There will be no third terms for Class nor Final Exam except for the people who are ill and have an appropriate document written by a doctor.
