Assessment
Unaided Work:
To independently obtain physical fitness measurements in practical classes, to process data, analyse the results obtained, draw conclusions, develop recommendations, and draw up protocols. To independently prepare for practical classes, seminars, 2 colloquiums and the examination of the study course.
Assessment Criteria:
The learning outcomes are assessed in a 10-point grading system according to students’ knowledge and skills and competences learned to analyse the results obtained, draw conclusions and recommendations, draw up protocols. To be assessed: - attitude towards studies, development dynamics, work during seminars (10%). - independently performed practical works (20%). - written tests of the study course (70%) The summative assessment system is used in the total assessment of learning outcomes.
