Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Oral lectures using computer equipment for data processing and visualization (29 hours). Consultations in the classroom or using means of distant learning (2 hours). Self-study using the materials in the electronic form provided by the instructor (22 hours).
Assessment methods and criteria
Semester evaluation is performed by means of two written tests. A student can earn a maximum of 30 points for each of these tests. The final evaluation at the end of semester is performed by means of the combined written/oral test, which can give a maximum of 40 points. The course is passed with a positive grade if the total number of points obtained from all evaluations is no less than 60.
