- attend lectures and
seminars, and collect at
least 4 points for
presence and activity,
- attend all practical
classes (laboratory
sessions), and collect at
least 12 points.
During each laboratory
session one can get
maximum 5 points. This
makes a total of 20 points
for 4 practical classes to
get. Prior to each
laboratory session
students should read and
understand the relevant
instruction to the
experiment. During
laboratory session
students are asked 3-4
questions (in written or
oral form, depending on
the tutor) to test their
knowledge concerning the
experiment. The answers
to these questions would
be assessed for maximum
2 points. The laboratory
report would be assessed
for maximum 3 points
