Teaching methods
One lesson of seminar followed by a test after one week. The literature for home studies is well available.
Assessment methods
(i) The presence on introductory lesson and on electronic tests is mandatory. In the case of longer illness, a letter of excuse (by a physician) must be showed at study department to excuse the absence. The presence on seminar lessons is strongly recommended. (ii) 6 tests in a computer room. The credit in regular completion date will be given if the student obtains at least 70% of points in all six tests in total. The credit in a rest date will be given if the student obtains at least 70% of points in a reparatory test (knowledge from the whole course will be examined), the participation in a reparatory test will only be allowed if condition (i) of presence on introductory lesson and on electronic tests is passed (including the excuses according to point (i).
