Teaching method

The course is organized into lectures including problem-solving sessions (TP, 28h) and some computer lab sessions. Fundamentals are explained during the lectures, using data show and challenging the students to solve and think about new problems. It is provided access to a page – Moodle - containing all course material and related information. Theory mark: average of 2 mid-term tests or final exam. Minimum theory mark: 9,5 val.
