Course guarantor: Doc. Ing. Pavel Kopeček, CSc.Requirements for the successful completion of the course:Continous assessment:Computer practice takes place alternately at KPV and KKS. It is possible to obtain 5 to 10 points in either department. Less than 5 means failure regardless of the number of points achieved in the other department. The minimum requirement is 14 points. Points above 14 are added to the points achieved in the examination.

Final assessment:The examination consists of two parts. It is possible to obtain 5-10 points in either department. Less than 5 in either department means failure; it is necessary to retake at least the failed part. The surplus points from continuous assessment amount to 1-6. The final mark is calculated as follows:20 or more points excellent16 – 19 very good12 – 15 goodless than 12 failed

Continuous assessment:Three tests: max. number of points that can be achieved in each: 10Individual assignment: 20 pointsThe minimum requirement for a successful completion of the course is 26 points. Students who have achieved 16 – 25 points take an extra test (programming of a simple task on the computer) in which they can obtain up to 10 points. Those who have not achieved 26 points after the extra test cannot take the examination.

Final assessment:Written examination (50 minutes). Oral examination only in borderline cases. The examination paper contains 3 questions (the list of all questions is on the Internet), one flow chart and a simple program with a procedure or a function. The maximum number of points that can be achieved is 50. The mark is calculated as follows:

Points41 and more excellent38 – 40 very good (those who aspire to “excellent” must take an oral exam)33 – 40 very good30 – 42 good (those who aspire to “very good” must take an oral exam)26 – 32 good23 – 25 failed (those who aspire to “good” must take an oral exam)less than 23 failed
