Lectures. Laboratory and Computing Practice. Consultations. During the semester students can pass the writen part of exam through two colloquiums. Colloquiums are the forms of the knowledge assessment and they are consist of theoretical and computing parts and they are in written form. During the semester students are required to attend lectures, computing and laboratory practice, as well as to pass two tests and to deliver and present term paper on selected topic. After successful fulfillment of pre-exam obligations student are allowed to take the exam, unless they have passed the written part of exam through two colloquiums, students are required to take the whole exam, covering the whole semester curriculum.
