Notes

Term 2023:

Absences - two unexcused absences are allowed per semester.
2. The student should be prepared for each class.
3. The final test can be taken after passing the semester test and the student has the right to one improvement of the semester test. Absence at the test at the first deadline without any excuse will result in the loss of that deadline.
If it is not possible to conduct classes in a stationary form, classes will be held using distance communication tools, most likely Google Meet and other recommended by the University of Warsaw.
