Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Two compulsory midterm tests (on the topics of the lectures, seminars, and practices) will be written during the semester on the 7th and the 12th weeks. There is no opportunity to make up missed tests. One of the test results has to be above 60% and the average above 50%. If only one of the requirements is not fulfilled, there is a possibility of having a third improvement test. The result of the improvement test is added to the previous two.
