Lectures and seminars.

Course responsible can at the beginning of the semester update the syllabus list by changing no more than three articles, though in a way that it will not change the overall scope or thematic content of the course.

The syllabus also includes any lecture notes that will be made available for the students in Canvas.

If you are sick or have another valid reason for not attending the regular exam, we offer a postponed exam later in the same semester.
