Techning methods include lectures, computer laboratories, homeworks and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Moodle) system.

At the end of each laboratory or computer exercise the teacher checks the results of the given assignment and awards points. Assessment of computer exercises also includes assessment of homeworks. The points awarded for laboratory and computer exercises (a maximum of 30 points in a semester) go to the evaluation of the examination and thus also the assessment. The exam is written. The maximum number of points is 70. The overall evaluation is the sum of points for computer exercises, laboratories and a written exam. The minimum feasible value is 50 points; the maximum value is 100 points.
