The above programme is tentative and subject to changes due to calendar variations and other reasons specific to the actual semester. Consult the effective detailed course schedule of the course on the subject website.
Study-aids, guidelines and downloadable materials as specified in the class, technical specifications.
Due to the special nature of the subject, participation in consultation classes is not mandatory. Failure to participate in no way exempts the student either from solving the tasks to an appro-priate standard, or from lack of knowledge presented in the consultation classes.
The instructors are available for consultation during the classes.

II. Subject requirements
The assessment of the learning outcomes specified in clause 2.2. above and the evaluation of student performance occurs via two homeworks.
During the semester, there is a continuous partial performance evaluation (6 milestones).
Completion of the milestones is mandatory, and upon successful completion of the predetermined requirements, the student will receive a separate signature for each one.
Homeworks can only be submitted if all milestones have signatures. Otherwise, the course cannot be passed.
The student passes if both homeworks have received at least satisfactory (2) marks.
| Evaluation form | Abbreviation | Assessed learning outcomes |
| 1. homework (road): with continuous partial performance evaluation (3 milestones) | HW1 | A.1-A.3; B.1-B.4, B.7; C.1-C.6; D.1-D.6 |
| 2. home work (railway): with continuous partial performance evaluation (3 milestones) | HW2 | A.1, A.4; B.5-B.7; C.1-C.6; D.1-D.6 |
The dates of deadlines of assignments/homework can be found in the detailed course schedule on the subject’s website.
| Abbreviation | Score |
| HW1 | 50% |
| HW2 | 50% |
| Sum | 100% |
Signature cannot be obtained.
| Grade | Points (P) |
| excellent (5) | 90<=P |
| good (4) | 75<=P<90% |
| satisfactory (3) | 62.5<=P<75% |
| passed (2) | 50<=P<62.5% |
| failed (1) | P<50% |
All milestones have an additional deadline, (usually 1 week after the regular deadline) in accordance with the detailed semester schedule, in addition to paying the fee specified in the regulations. Only work submitted before the given deadline can receive a signature. Furthermore, no corrections can be made after the additional deadline, so if the submitted work does not meet the minimum requirements, it cannot get a signature.
Homework can be handed in late (usually 1 week after the regular deadline) in accordance with the detailed semester schedule, in addition to paying the fee specified in the regulations. Submitted and accepted homework can be corrected free of charge by the last deadline.
| Activity | Hours/semester |
| consultations | 14x2=28 |
| prepare of the homeworks | 76x2=152 |
| Sum | 180 |
