You must pass the passing tests before the final exam.

Teaching methods

Notice! This implementation is an elective course for those intending to become multimodal students in energy and environmental engineering and mechanical engineering. Other students will be directed to other implementations of the corresponding course.

Course is web-based self-directed course in Moodle environment. There is no contact lessons on this course.

Guiding is available for use of the environment if needed on 11.4., 18.4., 24.4, 3.5. and the practices in exam 9.5., 15.5. and 22.5. at 17:00 - 18:00 in Zoom in the address of the course.

Exam dates and retake possibilities

You must pass the three passing tests before the final exam. Register for the final exam in Moodle in advance no later than May 19!

Final exam is in Zoom on 23.5. at 17:00 - 19:30. The final exam cannot be repeated.

Student workload

Independent work 79 h, exam 2 h.

Further information for students

Each passing test gives in maximum 12 points. The maximum of the final exam is 64 points.

The applicant must obtain at least 50 points of the course to become chosen. The applicants are chosen in order of points, the highest score first.

The course is passed if the point of each passing test is at least 9 points and the points of the final exam are at least 51.
