Assessment methods and criteria

the final grade is an average value of grades of parts, i.e.
- Introduction to electric circuits and electrical measurements (50%)
- Introduction to electronics and telecommunication (50%)

Student must pass both parts to get the final grade in this course.

Non-returned tasks in any assessed task results to grade -3.

Only on time returned tasks are valid.

Assessment criteria, fail (0)
