Course completion requirements - Czech

The course concludes with an oral examination, which will be held as soon as possible after the end of the class (usually on the last day of the block on Friday and on the first working day following in the afternoon). Friday terms will be open only to students with no absences.

Attendance at individual seminars and practicals is a condition for credit. According to OD No.1/2011, it is possible to excuse absences for up to 20% of the teaching volume without an excuse. Attendance will be awarded for each block of seminar/practicals (15 blocks in total) in the student's attendance sheet, so it is necessary to complete 12/15 blocks.
