    Recommended or required reading

    All material, theory and exercises, can be found in TuniMoodle. If necessary, a student can use math books he/she has used before and the Internet to search more information about the topics. A student can borrow books in TAMK library. The solutions for the some homework will be published in TuniMoodle after every deadline.

    Planned learning activities and teaching methods

    Lessons, exercises, self-study, videos, exercises, group work, homework, exam.

    Assessment methods and criteria

    The final grade is based on the exam and the homework. A homework package is given weekly (appr. 8-9 packages). One point is given for every submitted homework package in Moodle. Homework packages are not accepted by email. The maximum points for the test is 41-42 points. The homework and the test together give the maximum of 50 points. The grade is based on the following table

    12,5 points -> grade 1
    20 points -> grade 2
    27,5 points -> grade 3
    35 points -> grade 4
    42,5 points -> grade 5
