Requirements:

Conditions for obtaining credit and exams from VMDS

To complete the course, you must earn credit and pass an exam.

Credit is awarded on the basis of participation in exercises and fulfillment of the so-called Mini project.

You will receive credit if the supervisor, who assigns you so-called mini-project to solve at the beginning of the semester, decides at the end of the semester that the assignment of the mini-project was fulfilled during the semester. Your credit will be entered in KOS on the day of the VMDS exam.

When solving the Mini-Project, consult the work progress with the Mini-Project lecturers, Dr. Kalivodou,

Dr. Tichánek, Dr. Vašíček and Dr. Zoul. Consultation days with these practices are on the day and time indicated in the schedule.

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