Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester
Continuous verification of students' knowledge in numerical exercises in the form of discussion and questions with the aim of active involvement of students in teaching. Students identify, look for a solution of given problems and their interpretation by students.
Control tests for solving numerical examples, or selected theoretical parts.
Students' knowledge is verified at the end of the semester by a written test and an oral exam.
