Learning outcomes of the course unit

Prerequisites

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course-unit credit requirements:
Mastering fundaments of lectured problems and practical realizations of computations using computer technology and software tools, knowledge applying is examined on assigned problems, individual elaboration of the assigned tasks without fundamental deficits. Continuous evaluation is made at seminars.
Examination:
Examination is based on evaluation of knowledge of fundamental problems, ways of solutions and its applications in exercises.
The exam consists of a written part (test) and an oral part. Final evaluation consists of: 1. Evaluation of the work on seminars (elaborated tasks). 2. Result of the writing part of the exam (test). 3. Result of the oral part of the exam.
Attendance at seminars is obligatory, checked by a teacher. The way of compensation of absence is solved individually with a course provider.
