Basic requirements in category knowledge/skills/social competences

Formal requirements: The student satisfies the formal requirements set out in the study regulations

Basic requirements in category knowledge: countable and uncountable sets, operations on sets, implication and its negation, functions and relations, limit of a sequence, the limit and continuity of a function of one and two variables.

Basic requirements in category skills: Student can compute the limit of a simple sequence, can verify whether the sequence tends to infinity, can compute a limit of a function, can find the sum and the intersection of two sets.

Basic requirements in category social competences: Has the ability to define priorities needed for the realization of a particular task, determined by himself/herself or by others.

The way of giving the component module grades and the final grade

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture No grade for participation in the lecture.
Class Passing grade from exercises based on grades from two tests. In the border case the activity during the execises may tip the scale.
The final grade Final grade based on the final exam. Passing grade form the exercises is the condition to take the exam. In the border case good grade from the exercises or a few oral questions may tip the scale by one half of a unit (say from 4 to 4,5).
