| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Students consolidate the theoretical material learned in lectures by independently reading the specified sources of information. Independent search of the latest scientific literature, its critical analysis and active participation in discussions in classes. Preparation of the study assignment (description available in E-studies) and individual reporting the results. In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | The exam is implemented in a cumulative format (the final grade is formed from the evaluations of the individual tasks performed during the course): - test on lecture material - 10%; - independently read literature and participation in discussions - 15%; - summary of the analysis of information sources and examples of knowledge transfer - 15%; - the written individual study assignment submitted within the specified deadline - 30%; - report on the study assignment and discussion - 30%. | ||||||||
