type of assessment in Estonian
Kursus lõpeb kirjaliku eksamiga, mis hõlmab kogu kursuse teoreetilist materjali. Eksamile pääsemise eeldusteks on laboratoorsete tööde arvestus, mis sisaldab praktikumide edukat sooritamist, korrektselt vormistatud katseprotokollide esitamist tööde kohta ja tööde kaitsmist (iga praktilise töö kohta esitatud küsimustele vastamist) ning kursuse vältel individuaalselt koostatud referaat ja selle ettekandmine. Eksamihinnet mõjutab vastus eksamipiletis esitatud referaatide temaatikaga seotud küsimusele.
type of assessment in English
Subject ends with writing exam which includes all theoretical material from lectures and excercises from excercisal lectures. There are two control tests for students: mid-semester control test and final control test. If these are performed on grades 4 (very good) and 5 (excellent) and examination prerequisites are fulfilled, taking the writing exam is optional.
