Assessment
Unaided Work:
Students will independently learn the content provided for in the study course in addition to the content learned in contact lectures, perform eight independent works individually or in groups.
Assessment Criteria:
The homework are evaluated on a scale of points, which are converted into points, the test - on a scale of 10 points, which later forms the overall evaluation of the study course. The overall assessment is not posted if any of the tasks are not completed or the test is evaluated below 4 points.
