Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.During lectures, standard model of theory explanation using the projector and blackboard is used. In the training course students work individually with the computer and themselves solve problems and they write notes in their workbook.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Conditions to get credit are active presence in training course (two absences are allowed) and successful evaluated of the test. Test is consists of both theoretical questions and practical tasks.
Language of instruction
Czech
Work placements
Not applicable.
