Planned learning activities and teaching methods | For the delivery of the class material, power point presentations are primarily used, along with the whiteboard. The lecture notes, consisting of slides presented in class, and additional material, are made available to the students through the course website and are complementary of the course textbooks. The theoretical part of each lecture is accompanied with detailed solved examples on which emphasis is given in the class. The solutions to these exercises, as well as specimen solutions for all tests and assignments, are discussed with students. | ||||||
