• Requirements
  • There will be two tests which will constitute the grounds for giving you a grade in our tutorial classes - the first somewhere in March/April (you can get 25 points), and the final one for the end of the classes (50 points).
  • The maximum amount of points to allow for your final grade is 100 - the missing 25 can be gained as a result of class activity (15 points) and solving homeworks (10 points). Every student has to submit at least five homeworks and solve at least three problems in class.
  • Homeworks can only be submitted before the solutions appear on this website. They should be provided in electronic form. In the title of your e-mail pls. always write: 'micro homework'. So, you have 7 days for the submition of the homework.
  • Problems are posted on web in advance.
