There are 4 tests, 3 small ones, each worth 50 points and a large one at the end for 90 points. To pass the practicals (recieve the credit) you need 120 points. If you manage to get at least 100 points (but not 120) you are eligible for a supplementary test that can allow you to pass.
You can get additional points by showing a solution of an exercise in class. Usually one solution will give you 2 points.
Any homework assigned is voluntary and yields no points. The intent is that there is one homework before each test, allowing you to learn whether you understood the material correctly.
The tentative(so may change!) test dates are as follows:
