Assessment methods: Tutorials: Two written tests (45 minutes), 2 shorts written test (20 minutes). The students will receive points for the tests and for properly solved problems ,,at the blackboard’’ during the classes. The final grade will be based on the sum of obtained points. The students are obliged to participate in the classes – only one absence (which is not caused by illness etc.) is allowed during the semester. Exam: The students that have obtained a grade for the tutorial component of the cour
