Teaching methods

Lecture traditional. Class - solving problems from prepared lists. Laboratory - using the statistical package (e.g. R-project) to analysis data.

Learning outcomes and methods of theirs verification

Outcome description Outcome symbols Methods of verification The class form

Assignment conditions

1. Class - tests with problems on different level of difficulties, which allow to assess, that student posses learning outcomes on minimal level.

2. Laboratory - checking students prepare for class and their active participation in class; tests with the tasks of different difficulty (The condition of a positive grade from laboratory is to obtain of at least 50% of the maximum sum of points from the written tests).

3. Lecture – exam (I – written, II – oral) with questions from theory (definitions, theorems and its applications).

To take an exam student has to obtain positive grade from class. To complete the course one has to obtain positive grade form exam. The course grade consists of a grade from class (30%), a grade from laboratory (20%) and a grade from exam (50%).
