Problems
Lack of classrooms, faculty building is still under reconstruction (New CL was in other building)
Lack of teaching staff, both teachers and teaching assistants
Better organization of exams (big number of students)
Software
![Page 18: Computer Laboratory Practicing at the Faculty of Natural Science and Mathematics Vesna Veličković Marko Milošević Workshop on Lab Practicing in Computer](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022072016/56649ef25503460f94c04160/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Plans
Continuation of reconstructing the faculty building
Constructing the Tempus laboratory
SoftwareTo continue reconstruction of the
curricula of number of courses
