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.

NI-VSM Selected statistical Methods Extent of teaching: 4P+2C
Instructor: Hrabák P. Completion: Z,ZK
Department: 18105 Credits: 7 Semester: L

Annotation:
The course leads the student through advanced probabilistic and statistical methods used in information technology praxis. Particularly it deals with multivariate normal distribution, application of entropy in coding theory, hypothesis testing (T-tests, goodness of fit tests, independence test). Second part of the course deals with random processes with focus on Markov chains. The high point of the course is the Queuing theory and its application in networks.
