A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.
BI-AG1.21 Algorithms and Graphs 1 Extent of teaching: 2P+2C Instructor: Knop D., Opler M. Completion: Z,ZK Department: 18101 Credits: 5 Semester: Z Annotation:
The course covers the basics of efficient algorithm design, data structures, and graph theory, belonging to the core knowledge of every computing curriculum. It links and partially develops the knowledge from the course BI-DML.21, in which students acquire the knowledge and skills in combinatorics necessary for evaluating the time and space complexity of algorithms. The course also follows up knowledge from BI-MA1.21, the practical usage of asymptotic mathematics, in particular, the asymptotic notation.

Active algorithmic skills for solving basic types of computational tasks, programming skills in C++ (e.g., the level needed for passing BIE-PA1.21 and BIE-PA2.21) , and knowledge of basic notions from mathematical analysis and combinatorics are expected (e.g., by passing BIE-DML.21 a BIE-MA1.21). Students are expected to take the concurrent course BIE-AAG.21 and BIE-MA2.21.
