Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
There will be a final exam at the end of the semester. It is a single choice exam covering all subjects of the class. Our last class is reserved for Q&A and we will go through some of the old exams together to help you study for the exam.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Pass the final exam. It clearly helps if you participate in class (and it is more fun).
Examination topics
All the slides and literature that discussed in class. Please note that I update the slides and the literature each year. It helps if you take notes on the slides directly during class. Slides will be available on moodle ahead of each class.
