General information
| Catalog no.: | 00840738 |
| Credit points: | 3 |
| Prerequisite: | 00840737—Dynamic Systems |
| Grading policy: | homework—15% (magen, average of 3), passing each is a prerequisite for the follow-up lab laboratory—24% (tokef, average of 3), passing is necessary to access the final exam final exam—61% or 76% (or 100%, if its grade is below 55) |
| Passing policy: | passing grade at the exam is at least 55; important: no homework ⇒ no lab ⇒ no exam |
| AI tools: | refrain from their use to solve control-related questions (okay for programming, typesetting, and alike) |
