Teacher's information
Credit: full-time students wrote the exercises two credit tests scored more than 30 points per test. Tests consist of three parts: a theoretical part (10 points), the numerical part (10 points) and a practical part (10 points). A necessary condition for the exam is registration to the date of the final test at: http://axpsu.fpf.slu.cz/ ~ cie10ui/index.php. The students can get bonus points (maximum 10 points) - for submission of practical tasks the day of the exercise, to which the job is submitted or for solving complex computational problems. Each student prepares a specified project, which is rated up to 30 points. Submission of the project is a necessary condition for the granting of credit. On the selected project can sign a maximum of two full-time students the second week of the semester of the academic year and at: http://axpsu.fpf.slu.cz/ ~ cie10ui/index.php. The deadline of submission of the project is midterm week of the semester. For every further week, the maximum number of points that a student can get for the project, reduced by 50 percent. The project includes a user manual, which describes the procedures used, algorithms. The credit is necessary to obtain total (2 + test project) 55 points.
Exam: The exam can get 70 points. For the successful completion you need to get at least 35 points. Mark is determined by adding the points for the exam and points that the student earned during the semester.
The course is also listed under the following terms Winter 2017, Winter 2018, Winter 2019, Summer 2020, Summer 2021, Winter 2021, Summer 2022, Winter 2022, Summer 2023, Winter 2023, Summer 2024.
