Mid-term exams

Midterm student accounts will be held on the previously presented case reports.

Making up for missed classes

Individual preparation from the recommended books, the lecture slides, and from notes of fellow-students.

Exam topics/questions

Delivery of the exam questions in advance would interfere with the aim of the course as students could figure out in advance the subject of the cases to be presented. Questions on the individual topics will be made open for the participants right after the individual lectures.
