Teaching methods

Class lessons and exercises. PDF sheets of exercises periodically published online at IOL website.

Assessment methods

Written and oral examinations. A detailed program for the oral part will be published on IOL The written part of the examination will check the knowledge of ALL the topics presented in the exercises, regularly published on IOL website. During the oral examination, the student will be asked at least three theoretical questions (related to theorems, proofs, examples, definitions), presented during the lectures.

Exam dates:

3 exams in June/July;

1 in September; 1 in January; 1 in February.

Teaching tools

Periodically, exercises will be published on-line on IOL website. As for the preparation for the oral examination, at the end of the semester, a very-detailed list of the questions for the oral part will be published in the dedicated IOL website.
