Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basics of modeling, to develop the ability of students to support decision-making in an organization by creating suitable model tools. Within different types of models, emphasis is placed on mathematical modeling, model-oriented Decision Support Systems and the potential of business simulations. Theoretical postulates are practically practiced in the form of a design of System Dynamics model as an ICT service for Project management.
Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes and competences: Upon successful completion, students will be able - to apply systems approach to solving problems related to applied informatics, - to create own SOA aplication in the specialized software InsightMaker.

Teaching methods
The course combines traditional methods of academic teaching and innovative methods of creative and experiential learning: 1. Classic teaching methods - lecture, training 2. Activating methods - discussion, heuristic methods, methods of situational and staging, educational games 3. Comprehensive methods - group and cooperative learning, individualized instruction, critical and systems thinking, brainstorming, project teaching in teams, teaching computer-assisted, simulation modeling and experimentation.
Assessment methods
Lectures in full-time study. Managed consultations and tutorials in part-time study. Minimal required participation is 75% in full-time study and 50% on tutorials in part-time study. Course completion: Credit and exam. Credit will be given for correctly solved the case study. Exam is evaluated by the number of points - ie the sum of points for semester work and its presentation (50%) and written test (50%). In the written test the student succeeds in achieving at least 60 points out of 100 possible. Scoring: 90-100 points A 80-89 points B 70-79 points C 60-69 points D 50-59 points E 0-49 points F
