Organization
The course consists of oral lectures accompanied by paper exercises. Successful participation in the course yields 6 ECTS.
The course has one weekly lecture slot of 90 minutes (Tuesdays 10:15 -- 11:45, E 1.3 HS 003), and one weekly tutorial slot of 90 minutes (Tuesdays 14:15 -- 15:45, E 1.3 HS 003). All teaching will be done in English.
The lectures will be given by Jörg Hoffmann and Daniel Fišer.
Exercises. The course will be accompanied by paper exercises that will be solved individually and graded. To qualify for the exam, you need to obtain at least 50% of points. (If you want to participate in future editions of this course, then you need to qualify anew; see also below.)
The paper exercises will involve applying the introduced concepts and algorithms to examples, and leading simple proofs. The paper exercise sheets will be handed out in a weekly cycle. They will feature exercises similar to those in the exam.
The solutions to paper exercises will be discussed during tutorials.
Exam and final grade. There will be a written exam at the end of the course that will determine the final grade.
For admission to the exam, you need to get at least 50% from the paper exercises (see above).
Depending on the outcome of the 1st exam, there may be a 2nd exam. If so, then, in compliance with the study regulations each of the two exams will count as a separate attempt to pass the course.
ATTENTION! The re-exam is your only chance to improve your grade.
- By the study regulations, if you do not pass this edition of the course (if you fail, or are absent, in both the exam and the re-exam), then you can participate in future editions of the course as additional attempts to pass the course. (In this case, you need to qualify anew for the exam of that edition of the course.)
- If you do pass this edition of the course, then you cannot improve your grade anymore. The only exception to the latter is if you already pass the exam: in that case, you can try to improve your grade in the re-exam.
Course Material. Due to the recency of the material covered, there exists no text book for this course, but we will provide slide handouts that will be available after each lecture.
