Course with seminars (passed by obtaining seminar credit) and lectures (passed by successfully completing final exam).
— Lectures and final exam are led by associate professor Iva Broukalová. For more information about the lectures and the exam, please visit CM01 lectures page.
— You can only attend the final exam if you successfully complete the seminars (i.e. obtain the seminar credit).
— In order to obtain the seminar credit, you must attend the seminars and complete all of the assigned homeworks within their respective deadlines.
— There are 6 assignment tasks divided into 13 mandatory homeworks in the seminar - see Homework assignments and Individual assignment values.
— You must successfully complete each homework before its deadline (2 weeks after its assignment) - for exact dates see the Seminar programme and submission dates. In order to "successfully complete" homework, you must present the completed homework to your seminar teacher and he must confirm that the homework is complete and correct. You can check the status of your homeworks on this page.
— For addition information about the seminars see the introductory presentation.
