Study-aids, guidelines and downloadable materials as specified in the class, technical specifications. Online materials. AutoCAD Civil 3D Online Help.
- Computer and AutoCAD software access is available during classes.
- Students are evaluated based on their actual individual performance. Students are required to show evidence of their own knowledge and skills. Submitting a work of others, obtaining or giving unauthorized help (e.g. during an exam or test) cheating and plagiarism in any form is unacceptable. Whoever violate the respective Regulations of the University will be given a failing grade (1), without the possibility of retake and repeat, and will be reported to the Dean’s Office.
- Attendance of lectures is compulsory. The credits from the subject will be refused to students missing more than four times.
The instructors are available for consultation during their office hours, as advertised on the department website. Special appointments can be requested via e-mail:
- Public Works: Marcell KNOLMÁR PhD. - knolmar.marcell@emk.bme.hu
- Road design: Szabolcs BARNA - barna.szabolcs@emk.bme.hu
II. Subject requirements
The assessment of the learning outcomes specified in clause 2.2. above and the evaluation of student performance occurs via one midterm test.
The midterm test has two parts (Public Works and Road design).
Criterion for completion of the subject is to collect at least 50% of the total points of each parts.
The student must be present at least 70% of the classes (10 times).
| Evaluation form | Abbreviation | Assessed learning outcomes |
| 1. midterm test | MT | A.1-A.8; B.1-B.8; C.1-C.4; D.1-D.3 |
The dates of deadlines of assignments/homework can be found in the detailed course schedule on the subject’s website.
| Abbreviation | Score |
| MT - Public Works | 50% |
| MT - Road design | 50% |
| Sum | 100% |
Signature cannot be obtained.
| Grade | Result |
| excellent (5) | 90<=P |
| good (4) | 80<=P<90% |
| satisfactory (3) | 67.5<=P<80% |
| passed (2) | 50<=P<67.5% |
| failed (1) | P<50% |
- The midterm test can be repeated –without fee – at a previously determined date given in the course schedule. The midterm test can be repeated twice by paying a previously defined fee. It is enough to repeat the failed part.
- The new result of the repeated test overwrites the former result only if that is the better.
