Course assessment methods and requirements for successful completion, grading scheme -

Oral exam. Before coming to exam, student must solve one practical programming task selected from the list provided in the last weeks of semester. Oral exam consists of two questions. First question is to describe the theory considering the selected practical task. The second question will be selected from the topics coverd by sylabus of the lecture.
