    Remarks

  • Partial passing of course must be in connection with the same round of implementation.

  • The course is suitable for postgraduate studies.

    • Distance learning

  • ITC utilized during the course

    • - In information distribution via homepage, newsgroups or mailing lists, e.g. current issues, timetables
    - In compiling exercise, group or laboratory work
    - In the visualization of objects and phenomena, e.g. animations, demonstrations, simulations, video clips

  • Estimate as a percentage of the implementation of the course

    • - Contact teaching: 20 %
    - Distance learning: 30 %
    - Proportion of a student's independent study: 50 %

  • Description of the course implementation from ICT point of view

    • Completion of the course is based on the project work. There are several mandatory meetings with the assistants concerning the project work and it's progress. The final seminar is mandatory.
