Assessment
Unaided Work:
Students deepen their knowledge of subjects learned during lectures by performing six independent works, developing the content of figure skating competition programmes for athletes of different ages and evaluating the performance of competition programmes of 3 athletes. Independent works should be presented during seminar classes, but the content of the elements of competition programmes and evaluation of programme performance should be presented individually. The final assessment is the average of the summative assessment of all types of work.
Assessment Criteria:
The total assessment is summative. Independent learning – technical elements and their teaching. Creating programme content. Evaluation of performance of competition programmes.
