In particular, we concentrated on a linear programming module and measured the impact on student performance. The motivation for this evaluation is based on a current development of a new module that focuses on Traveling Salesman Problem. First, we explain the current situation both worldwide and in the Czech Republic and the CULS Prague. Subsequently, we describe the content of students’ exams and statistical methods applied to the evaluation. Finally, we analyze and generalize the obtained results. The students exams have show a positive impact of the modules. Further, our analysis has proven that this impact is statistically significant. The findings motivate us to made new modules for other methods.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science}, author={Kučera, Petr and Krejčí, Igor and Vydrová, Hana and Kučírková, Lenka}, year={2010}, month={Dec.}, pages={54–65} }
