Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

Student participated in the laboratory exercises and the exam. Overall the achieved competence is sufficient but narrow.
This means that
-some of the assignments were done acceptably
-the student is familiar with the basic concepts discussed during the course but often makes mistakes when applying them
-can perform the laboratory measurements and experiments under supervision
-has basic skills in reporting the results of the measurements and experiments
-seldom and inactive participation in the lectures

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

Student participated in the laboratory exercises and the exam. Overall the achieved competence is wide.
