Assessment methods: Assessment of tutorials: Written test to assess (the last class), giving a report of exercise, the current rating (based on oral statements) progress and activity. The presence of the exercises is compulsory, the student may have only one unauthorized absence. In the case of excused absences the student is required to pass the relevant part of the material. Exercises based on the average ratings. Assessment of lecturers: Students with a valid credit classes pass the written test part of the lecture (20 questions). Included are 45 min.
