The student is obliged to attend classes and perform and defend the annual task. Knowledge tests during the semester (colloquium) are not repeated. The final exam is held within the exam deadlines. For a student who did not attend the knowledge tests during the semester or did not achieve a passing result (at least 51% of the points provided for the knowledge test), as the first part of the final exam will be organized a knowledge test that he did not attend or did not pass. If a student has more than 3 absences he must re-enroll the subject.

Classroom lectures and practical exercises. Consultations and individual work with students. Independent student work on the preparation of the annual task.
