Requirements to the exam - Czech

Kontrola studia formou 3 písemných testů v průběhu semestru (bodové hodnocení jednotlivých testů 30, 40 a 30 bodů). Zápočet bude udělen při minimálním celkovém počtu 60 bodů. V případě neúspěchu se bude psát závěrečný zápočtový test - dosažení min. 60 bodů (max. 100 bodů) je podmínkou k udělení zápočtu. Zkouška je písemná i ústní, vychází ze studijních okruhů specifikovaných sylabem.
