Teaching methods -

The lecture responds to current developments in the field and connects them with theoretical concepts.

Students independently search for data and propose methods for their processing, while also learning to evaluate the work of other students.

Requirements to the exam -

The examination consists of a written and an oral part.

The written part is mandatory, and the oral part can only be taken after achieving at least 50 points in the written part. If fewer than 50 points are obtained, the exam is graded as "F".

The requirement for obtaining the course credit is the submission of an individual project via the e-learning platform and the peer review of a fellow student’s work.
