Облици провјере знања и оцјењивање
Written exam (Test 1 + Test 2) = 60 points Final oral exam = 40 points
Посебна назнака
Студенти су обавезни да присуствују настави и да раде све провјере знања (тестове). Студенти који први пут слушају предмет морају остварити најмање 80 % присуства настави, како би стекли право изласка на завршни испит. На сваком тесту студенти су дужни да остваре минимум од 51% освојених бодова, како би стекли право изласка на завршни испит. Тестови се одржавају у току семестра, а њихови поправни у испитним роковима. Завршни испит се одржава у оквиру испитних рокова.
