- Teaching methods
- Practically oriented tutorials with an emphasis on the active students' approach. Students are expected to selfstudy, to do the homework, participate on a team project and pass through four auto-correction tests.
- Assessment methods
- The course is ended by an examination. The rating is determined by point gain from the final test, auto-correction tests, homework, and team project. Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
