See SIS:
To pass the tutorials it is required to get at least a half of total points for homeworks assigned during the semester conditioned on regular attendance. If the student does not attend the tutorials regularly, two thirds of total points will be required. Due to the requirements, additional attempts to pass the tutorial are not allowed. The exam is oral. The requirements correspond to the syllabus as covered by the lectures. Passing the turorials is required before taking the exam.
