Conditions for obtaining credit and examination from VMDS

To complete the course, you must obtain credit and pass the examination.

Credit is awarded based on participation in mandatory exercises from VMDS and completion of the so-called Miniproject.

You will receive credit based on a successful presentation of the Miniproject. The credit will include a grade from the evaluation of the Miniproject solution. The credit will be entered in your KOS and is a condition for applying for the VMDS exam.

When solving the Miniproject, consult the progress of the work with the Miniproject lecturers, Dr. Kalivoda, Dr. Tichánek,

and Dr. Vašíček. Consultation days with these lecturers are on the day and time specified in the VMDS exercise schedule.

The exam consists of a written and oral part. Based on the evaluation of the papers by individual lecturers and the grade of the Miniproject, you will receive an overall grade for the exam.
