Lecture - written exam with open-ended, test, and multiple-choice questions. Duration of the exam: 60 minutes. The following grading scale applies: 94 - 100% very good (5.0), 88 - 93% plus good (4.5), 80 - 87% good (4.0), 70 - 79% plus satisfactory (3.5), 60 - 69% satisfactory (3.0), less than 59.9% insufficient (2.0). The condition for passing the course is the presence in the classes and the active participation of the student in the classes.

Laboratories - final assessment based on partial grades obtained during the semester from tests and activity in classes. Classes are credited if the student: (i) actively participated in at least 85% of the classes; (ii) work during the classes in a way that allows to positively assess the knowledge, skills, and social competencies obtained in the course of the classes (described in the syllabus as subject learning outcomes 5-9).
