The grade of the course theory derives from the grade of the written examination as well as that of the possible progress exams. The grade of the course laboratory is that of the final exam (Project), in which the quality of the delivered assignments is taken into account qualitatively. The final grade of the course is calculated indicatively based on the following equation.

Final grade = 0.75 (Theory grade) +0.25 (laboratory grade), if (THEORY grade) ≥ 5.
