Location and time

Dates and times are shown in Tuni Moodle.

Exam schedules

The course can be completed in two different ways:
A) Partial exams (recommended)
B) Full exam

The partial exams have no chance of a reattempt.

The full exam will cover the contents of the whole course, and it can be taken on the following dates:
Attempt 1: dd.mm. (only if you have a grade of 0)
Attempt 2: dd.mm. (only if you have a grade of 0, or if you have a passed grade that you want to improve)
A student has to complete and submit at least 40% of the exercises to be able to attend the exam.

Evaluation methods and criteria

The course can be completed in two different ways:
A) Partial exams (recommended)
B) Full exam

For the completion method A), the final grade is based on all partial exams. To participate in partial exams, a student must additionally have completed and submitted at least 40% of the exercises.

Grade 0: if a student has completed and submitted at least 40% of the exercises, but does not pass the course with partial exams, he/she is given a grade of 0. A grade of 0 or higher is required to sign up for the full exam (of method B).

For the completion method B), the final grade is based on the full exam that covers the material of the entire course. To participate in a full exam, a student must have a grade of 0 (i.e. he/she must have completed and submitted at least 40% of the exercises) or higher.

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Lessons, exercises, independent studying, videos, group work, homework, exams.
A student solves mandatory exercises and submits them to Tuni Moodle by given deadlines.

Learning materials

Material, theory and exercises can be found in Tuni Moodle. If necessary, a student can use math books he/she has used before and/or online sources to obtain more information about the topics. A student can also borrow books in a local library.
