Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Oral lectures using computer equipment for data visualization (22 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 (44 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.
