The classes are concentrated on:
- solving problems based on the theory presented in lectures – the classes are synchronized with the lecture,
- methodology of solving problems, learning to single-handedly by students solve the problems, perform calculations, which in future will be needed for other subjects,
- solving details problems and examples that illustrate the theory presented in the lectures,
- teaching self-interpretation of the results.
Full description of the considerate issues in the exercises was presented above as the topics of the lectures.
