Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes

The final grade of the course is determined based on the assessment of all parts of the course. The weighting factor foreach part is given at the beginning of the course. Grades 1-2: Learning outcomes have been achieved. Satisfactory command in the core content of the course. Grades 3-4: Some learning outcomes have been exceeded qualitatively or quantitatively. Good command in core content and complementary knowledge of the course. Good or very good marks from all parts of the course. Grade 5: Most of the learning outcomes have been exceeded. Deep command in the whole content of the course. Almost maximum performance in all parts of the course.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (0-5)

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
