Assessment
Unaided Work:
In the independent work, the student studies special literature, develops independent works (reports, presentations, performs practical work - participates in the organization of a sports event).
Assessment Criteria:
For completing the study course, the student receives a differentiated assessment in a 10-point system according to the requirements of LSPA. In order to receive a positive evaluation for the study course, the total evaluation must correspond to at least 4 points (minimum level). If the sum of the student's points is less than 4 points, then the test must be repeated. The student receives an evaluation in points by summing up the set number of points, evaluating knowledge, skills and competences in the performance of individual tasks (independent work, productive activity in seminars, test, attitude, student's individual development dynamics). After the end of the study courses, within two weeks, it is possible to complete the delayed independent work and take the annual test at the time indicated by the lecturer. There is a principle of evaluation review in the study course: students have the opportunity to take the test again (twice), within two weeks. The last rating remains valid. In order for the student to obtain a successful assessment, the following will be assessed: Knowledge (50%) Skills (20%) Dynamics of development (20%) Attitude (10%)
