Prerequisites

Attending BPC-UDP course or similar.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods include lectures and computer laboratories. Course is taking advantage of www pages coupled with e-learning (Moodle) system. Student knowledges are tested by exercises during the term.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Test on exercises - program based on learned features - cca 40pts.
Exam test - cca 60pts.
The points (up to 100) and requirements for completion of a course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every year.
