Conditions for the assessment:

Credit Conditions:
- Active Participation: Attend at least 70% of the labs.
- Submission of Assignments: Submit 3 out of 5 assigned individual until the deadline 14 days from the beginning of the examination period.
- During the semester, a total of 5 individual tasks from various topics covered in the curriculum will be assigned during the labs.
- Students have 14 days to submit each task. If an assignment is submitted on time, the student can earn the maximum number of points for that task.
- The maximum points decrease by 1 point per day of delay beyond the submission deadline, until it reaches 0 points.
- These earned points contribute to the overall evaluation for the final exam.
