Course objectives
On the basis of the probability theory they will get acquainted with the design and use of mortality tables and their importance in life insurance. Using calculations based on the patterns derived from a single, ordinary and net premium of short-term insurance the students will be able to understand the issue of basic types of insurance. They will be also familiar with the general equation of equivalence and its use.

The main objectives of the course are:
Understanding the basics of actuarial methods and procedures of calculating the basic characteristics of the classic types of insurance; understanding of the principle of the calculations in the actuarially, the ability to independently solve problems as well as non-standard insurance

Assessment methods
Students processed POT, which forwarded the day before the last tutorial.
During the third tutorial a control test will be written (the content of the topics examined to all previous tutorials).
If a student can not attend the inspection test or fails in a control test, the writing spare control test, but no more than an alternative test.
The term replacement will be a test for all and will be announced only one term replacement test.
The test is written.
Condition for admission to the test is accepted POT and successfully control written test (ie at least 60% success rate).
To evaluate the performance of students in the test the following scale:
A = 92 - 100%
B = 84 - 91%
C = 76 - 83%
D = 68 - 75%
E = 60 - 67%
F = less than 60%

Any copying, recording or obtaining tests, use of unauthorized tools as well as other means of communication or objectivity distortion test (credit) will be considered as failure to comply with the course completion and a gross violation of regulations. Consequently, teacher close examination (credit) in the evaluation of IS grade "F" and the Dean initiates disciplinary proceedings which may result in up to exclusion from the study.
