Practices are weekly given by DGCI in Lab 13-16 (NET Building, Nagyvárad tér 4 1089).

Practices are obligatory. More than three absences of ANY REASON during a semester invalidate the semester.  A notebook for notes and drawings, and colored pencils are needed in practices.

Remember the exact time of lectures and practices, don't be late for them. Being late from practice is considered as an absence.

In the first semester you have two Midterms (Moodle tests): on the week 6th and 12th. The exact time will be announced later. Both practice and theory knowledge will be tested. At the end of the semester your performance will be evaluated according the total scores therefore maximum 3 bonus scores is offered:

Calculation of the Bonus score

These extra scores will be added to the exams scores as bonus scores. Bonus points are only credited to those who have more than 50 % of the exam scores. No opportunity to improve the bonus scores.
