Learning Methods

3 hours of lectures and 4 hours of exercises per week.

Assessment Methods

6-7 laboratory tasks count a total of 20%.
5 tests (divided between both semesters) count 40%. Duration of tests 90-120 minutes.
2-3 of the assignments in the tests will be among the 5-10 assignments handed out a week before.
5-hour final examination counts 40%.
The examination paper is provided centrally.

In order to achieve a passing grade for the course at least 3 of the tests taken during the course of the year must receive passing marks, or the final examination must receive a passing mark.
