Elective courses for Computer Science and Machine Learning
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 6.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Learning outcomes:

Knowledge

Students:

1. have a knowledge of fundamental branches of mathematics (geometry, combinatorics,

graph theory) that are necessary to study discussed informatics problems (K_W01).

2. have a good understanding of role and meaning of data structures used while solving

the problems (K_W02).

3. are aware of problems, know methods and instruments occuring in theoretic

and practical considerations (K_W03).

Skills

Students:

1. have ability to construct mathematic reasoning (K_U01).

2. are able to express computational problems in the language of mathematics (K_U02).

3. have ability to design algorithms using known methods (K_U04).

Competences

Students:

1. are aware of limitations of their own knowledge and understand the necessity

of further education, including studying other science branches (K_K01).

2. know how to formulate questions that serve self-understanding

of the given thema (in particular, in contact with non-IT specialist) or finding

missing elements of reasoning (K_K02).

3. understand the necessity of regular reading scientific and popular

journals in order to broaden and deepen their knowledge.

Assessment methods and assessment criteria:

Class activity. Oral exam.

In the case of completing the course by a PhD student, such a student will be obliged to read a scientific article concerning the newest research trends and to discuss it with the lecturer as part of the exam.

Getting a credit for the exercises: Demonstrating the ability to apply

the acquired knowledge in practice by completing a few simple tasks.
