  Further reading - look below
  
• Online surveys
  After movies and before excersizes take part in a quiz.
  All quiz participants will be anonymous - we will gather only collective statistics.
  
• Problems
  We plan to add list of problems to solve here!
  Problems-1, Problems-2, Problems-3,
  Problems 4, ...
  
• Any ideas to improve teaching - write to us!
  
• Exam at the end
