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.
Students pass the 13 basic lectures in reservoirs and water management systems.
In practice, students process according to entering some basic task using computers and software available.
At the end of course test draw from the full range of lectures and pass the oral exam.

For a successful finishing of the subject, student has to:
♦ - be present in seminars,
♦ - have presentations of selected topics from reservoirs and watermanagement systems,
♦ - hand over his presentations,
♦ - pass the tests,
♦ - oral exam.
