Grading Policy:
The student pass the class if obtain more than 50 points from 100 points.
Classroom Rules of Conduct:
• The room must be equipped with video (smart board);
• Students will present lectures, seminars / mobile laboratories closed;
Late students will be accepted to the course and seminar / lab.
• The term teaching laboratory work is determined by the agreement holder with students. Do not
accept applications for deferral, unless there is good reason;
For teaching late essays or works of seminar / lab, they will be marked down by 0.5 pts. / day of
delay.
