Requirements to complete the course

40 % assignments: the content of the exercise is the elaboration and defense of an individually assigned project. Part of the student's evaluation is also their activity on opposing and evaluating other students' projects. The results of the work (project) are submitted for assessment during the semester three times. By evaluating projects and evaluating the opposition of the results of other students' work, the achievement of the following learning outcomes is evaluated: D., E., G., H., I., J., K.
60 % final exam: the exam consists of two parts: a test and a design of a model set for a specific environment. The test verifies the achieved level of learning outcomes A., B., C., F. The designing of models for the described environment verifies the achieved level of learning outcomes D., E., G.
