Exam schedules

Course examination three weeks after completing the course.
Theory exam w. 49-50.
Submission of laboratory assignments according to given deadlines.

Student workload

In addition to participating in the lecture and laboratory sessions, the course requires active own work.
The initial theory of number systems and transformation, as well as Boolean logic, requires abundant own work for complete understanding.
The laboratory tasks and their documentation are carried out mainly in class, but also outside lecture hours.

Content scheduling

v. 43-50: Number systems and conversions. Boolean logic.
