Some recommendations and rules from other sources may be insufficient to excellent grades, and in some instances be so incompatible with the content of the course that it may lead to significant decrease of answers' quality. The answers, written or oral, prepared with the help of artificial intelligence are allowed only if they are marked as produced by AI. As almost all questions and tasks within the course imply as specific answers as possible, the answers or their parts of general or generic nature will not be considered of high quality. *** Literature and learning materials: Literature mentioned as main is necessary to satisfactory completion of the course. For higher levels, students are expected to learn from additional literature, and also additional and recommended sources and materials provided in the course program.

Students are expected to take notes, actively study presentations and remember the content by participation in discussions.
