Teaching methods
during consultations, the essentials of studied topics are intorcuded, explaining connection sto other topics etc.; students are expected the topics carefully at home, using e-learning materials in which there is offered also a number of excercises; students can consult the topics they have stided at the next consultation
Assessment methods
- this first semester ends with a written examination; it consists of questions asking to explain essential notions (such as, e.g., entailment) and examining also the trained logical skills by solving concrete examples (e.g. the verification of arguments)
