Criteria for assessing the achieved learning outcomes and the form and conditions for receiving credit: Należy określić w szczególności: zasady dopuszczenia do egzaminu, zwalniania z egzaminu, sposób i warunki zaliczenia zajęć, łącznie z określeniem zasad zaliczania nieobecności oraz określeniem liczby godzin nieobecności kwalifikujących do niezaliczenia przedmiotu oraz możliwości i formy wyrównywania zaległości |
The prerequisite is completion of credit in the form of a written test. The written test can be taken if all classes are passed (lectures - the presence of compulsory exercises - presence at all classes and active participation in the exercises according to the schedule) in the excused absence - the obligation to make up classes after consultation with the lecturer.
