The course includes lectures and labs. In the case of perduration of the COVID-19 pandemics, the course will comply with special regulations. Further details can be found on the moodle platform of the course.Attendance
Attendance is highly recommended but not mandatory.Type of evaluation
The exam is written and must be completed within two hours. It requires the solution of numerical exercises and the answers to theoretical questions, related to the topics of the syllabus. During the exam, students are not allowed to read textbooks, use PCs, tablets and mobile phones; they are only allowed to use a basic electronic calculator and the usual statistical tables. In the case of perduration of the COVID-19 pandemics, the course will comply with special regulations. A 1-hour exam will be administred through the moodle platform of the course. Those who pass this exam can participate in a supplementary oral examination.
