type of assessment in Estonian
Teadmiste kontroll: semestri jooksul korraldatakse 2 kontrolltööd ning antakse 1 kodutöö (referaat). Eelhinnang kujundatakse nende 3 hinde kogusummana (40% + 40% + 20%). Eksamil antakse 2 teoreetilist küsimust ja 1 ülesanne.
type of assessment in English
2 control works and 1 homework (report) will be arranged during the semester. Pre-estimation is based on the total sum of these 3 estimations as follows (40% + 40% + 20%). There will be 2 theoretical questions and 1 exercise at the
exam.
