Teaching method

While lectures cover the core material, it is important that students supplement classroom time with pre‐class preparation, through independent study. Background reading is expected. Directed (computer) exercises and assignments will help students consolidate the different topics discussed in classes.

Evaluation method

Students will be assessed on one group research project (25%), several assignments (15%), an intermediate test (30%) and a final exam (30%) ‐ minimum average grade requirement (intermediate test + final exam) of 7).
