Active participation: max 20 points per semester, max
2 points per lecture. Points can be earned
for the following activity:
- homework (you may wish to make your homework in 2-3
person
groups). Cheating will be punished with all your points
cancelation.
- solving problem sets at the white-board
- asking and answering questions (the basic rule - There are no stupid
questions). Please do not be afraid to ask questions.
- active participation in discussions
- case study analysis with relevant problem sets. Four case studies
will be conisdered.
- development of new examples (not covered by textbooks)
- theory discussion
The attendance list is not checked, active participation is
counted only. If a Student was present in the class but did not
participate
actively (i.e. no points was collected), it will be interpreted as the
Student was absent from the class. Points are awarded for your effort and
regardless
the correct answer. For being unprepared for the lecture (i.e. no points
for activity) negative points will be awarded: 3 unpreparedness = -1
point.
There will be 3 unannounced short tests (open questions) before December
15. It is neccesary to pass only one of them (there are no extra points,
but you loose 5 points if non of them is passed).

conditions jointly before
December 15: (i)
acceptance of the topic via personal disscusion and (ii) at least 5
