Teaching methods
Lectures and seminars. Homeworks.
Assessment methods
The final grade is composed of three parts: homeworks (max. 40 points), midterm test (max. 20 points), and final test (max. 40 points). The final test is available only for those students who achieve at least 40 points from homeworks and the midterm test.

The final evaluation is based on the following scale: (0-60)=F, [60-68)=E, [68-76)=D, [76-84)=C, [84-92)=B, [92-100]=A

The conditions (especially regarding the form of tests) will be specified according to the epidemiological situation and valid restrictions.
