- lh means 'lecture hours' (1 lh = 45 minutes).
-
Red numbers denote more important topics.
- (CS-L)
marks all places where the case study for lectures
is used as an illustrative example during lectures. At this moment, these
examples will be included into lecture slides.
- (CS-Ldoc)
- the same as above, but these are examples of produced documents that use
the case study. These documents can be given to students for individual
inspection, or discussed during exercises.
-
(CS-XCTL)
marks all places where the additional case study
(XCTL control program) is used during lectures. Example(s) will be included
into lecture slides.
