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.

Annotation:
In the past decade, we?ve witnessed a huge increase in the amount of data being captured and stored. In these large datasets very useful knowledge is present, though often concealed in the vastness of the data. With data mining techniques patterns are automatically revealed from such large datasets. First, data mining techniques and applications are discussed. Next, we will go into popular predictive and descriptive data mining techniques, with applications in marketing and risk management. Also, analyses such as social network analysis, text mining, process mining, and Big Data will be looked at. Basic programming skills in Python will be learnt. The learned concepts, techniques and programming language will be applied and evaluated with a real-life case. Teaching takes place at University of Antwerpen.
