Learning and Teaching Methods
In addition to the individual learning methods of the student, an improved understanding is targeted by performing computer exercises in individual and group work.
The theoretical background will be provided in the lectures based on traditional methods (computer-based presentations, discussion).
The exercises are based on interactive work (solving problem sets, computer exercises), the practica involve independent work.
