The exam is a written one, questions are based on the sylabus. Topics are published in Moodle. A prerequisite for the exam is a credit from practical exercises. In the academic year 2019/2020 there will be an alternative distance form of the practical course. Students are given study materials in Moodle and should pass the online test in Moodle to get the credits. |
