Teaching methods include lectures and seminars. The course is supoported by an e-learning system, which is, however, used as a repository of lectures and examples only. Students have to write a homework, consisting in solving a single project/assignment independently during the course.

Requirements for completion of a course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every year.
