Requirements to complete the course

Exam 60% marks. The exam consists of two parts: a test and a specific problem-solving task. The test verifies the achievement of learning outcomes A., C., F., G., the problem-solving task verifies the achievement of learning outcomes B., C., D., E.
Exercises 40% Exercises involve developing and defending a project on which students work individually. The content of the overall project is a summary of several assignments in the field of computer science, basic and application software. These assignments will be worked on individually or in the form of joint documents. The assessment of the individual student will also include the student's activity in practicing and opposing and evaluating the projects of other students. The results of the work are submitted in the form of sub-projects from which the final project will be developed. The final project will be submitted in the form of a text file and a video presentation of the work done
