Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

Most of central ideas and topics are given by lectures to the whole group of students. They  break up into small groups of 15 to 20 students  for problem classes and computer classes. The problem classes allow students to  work out  hand-outs  under the close assistance and guideline of the teacher. In addition, there are computer sessions every two weeks which allow to emphasize  numerical aspects of the subject.

For the proper monitoring of the subject the student must perform an ongoing study sice the first day of class. To support the student will have the assistence of Professor, both in the classroom and in the tutorial sesions.

5.2. Learning tasks

Lectures, computer classes, problem classes, group work, personal work, tutorials, evaluation.
