Part of the course are also e-learning lessons, in which students have to work with given materials and do the homework.

The tests take place online on the Moodle 3 platform and cannot be retaken. In case of non-fulfillment of these requirements, the condition of the credit is a comprehensive credit test (success rate of at least 70%, maximum of 3 re-sittings). The credit test takes place during the examination period and is held online on the Moodle 3 platform. It is not possible to sit for the Czech Winter Credit Test and Czech Summer Credit Test on the same day.
