Notes to virtual teaching

On March 16, 2020, we have switched the PV260 Software Quality course to a fully virtual form of teaching, otherwise keeping the structure of the semester, your engagement, and learning outcomes unchanged. What will change, though, is the format of your engagement. The seminar groups will keep their day&time, but the format will change to virtual. Please follow the instructions from your seminar tutors.

As for the lectures, I have given you access to the lecture videos from 2019 and 2018, which are here:
https://is.muni.cz/auth/el/fi/jaro2019/PV260/um/vi/
https://is.muni.cz/auth/el/fi/jaro2018/PV260/um/vi/

You will find direct links to the relevant videos also in the interactive syllabus. Hence you will be following lecture videos at your convenience. In addition to that, we consider having one or two live-stream lectures during the semester, where you would have an opportunity to interact with the lecturer and earn your lecture activity points.
