Mode of Delivery / Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods
The course consists of lectures and exercise classes.
Assessment Criteria
The possible grades obtainable from the course are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
1: The student knows the basic concepts of the course
2: The student knows about one-half of the topics taught on the course, and is able to solve simple problems
3: The student is able to solve pretty challenging problems and knows the concepts of the course
4: The student knows more or less the topics learned in the course
5: The sudent knows everything taught in the course.
Assessment Methods
There will be two exams in the course. The grade is determined by the total number of the points obtained from the exams. In addition, the sudent must solve a given number of exercise problems.
