Lectures:
Teaching methods: Lectures with PowerPoint presentations, problem lecture, sometimes conversational lecture
Method of assessment: test exam based on lectures

Tutorials:
Teaching methods:
Problem based practical tasks and group discussions. Students are given sheets specifying problems that they must solve selecting appropriate methods and carrying out calculations. Their results are interpreted and discussed with other students
Assessment methods:
- formative: attendance and activity during practical classes, solutions of practical problems and presentation of written reports of practical activities.
- summative: final colloquium
