Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will acquire the basic knowledge of three-dimensional descriptive geometry necessary to solve real life situations in various areas of engineering.

Prerequisites

The students have to be familiar with the fundamentals of geometry and mathematics at the secondary school level.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

COURSE-UNIT CREDIT REQUIREMENTS: Draw up 2 semestral works (each at most 5 points), there is one written test (the condition is to obtain at least 5 points of maximum 10 points). The written test will be in the 9th week of the winter term approximately.

FORM OF EXAMINATIONS: The exam has an obligatory written and oral part. In a 90-minute written part, students have to solve 3 problems (at most 60 points). The student can obtain at most 20 points for oral part.

RULES FOR CLASSIFICATION:
1. Results from seminars (at most 20 points)
2. Results from the written examination (at most 60 points)
3. Results from the oral part (at most 20 points)

Final classification:
0-49 points: F
50-59 points: E
60-69 points: D
70-79 points: C
80-89 points: B
90-100 points: A
