Prerequisites:
 
Course contents:
 
Teaching methods and criteria:
 
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

Students have to take part in all practices, to give over all protocols of laboratory practices, which have to meet commensurate scientific and graphic level. Students has to successfully two semestral tests. Knowledges of given topics are to be checked at the exam mainly by written form. List of topics will be notified to students at the beginning of the course. At the verbal part of the exam students will answer questions for other knowledges verification. Final classification includes: protocols evaluation, and results of the written and verbal parts of the exam.
Participation in practices is mandatory, must be properly excused absence. Attendance in practices will be checked, non-participation has to be duly excused. Basic credit conditions are continuous giving over protocols. Knowledges of lectured topics will be checked by two semestral tests. In the case of sick leave in practice given topic will be supplied by individual submission.
