Attendance regulation: students are expected to attend 100% of lectures and practical lessons,
however neither lecturer nor teaching assistance will check formally the attendance.
Teaching arrangement and method of instruction: the module consists of 3 hours frontal
lectures weekly given by the lecturer and 1 hour practical lesson weekly given by teaching assistant.
