Assessment methods: Assessment of tutorials: During the semester, students take two written tests and prepare a programming project. The presence at tutorials is compulsory. The student may have one unauthorized absence. Assessment of tutorials is based on the average grade. The final grade can be enhanced by student’s active participation in tutorials. Completion of the course: students who passed a tutorial will automatically receive credit for the course
