Home assignments with specific tasks; • to develop and prepare a summary (the content must include: problem, causation of the problem, problem resolution) or draft procedural documents according to the task; • to prepare a presentation for each seminar (according to the planning of lectures), to be prepared to present (to reflect with presentation slides theoretical insights and their reflection in practice). The ability to voice own opinion in a way that is clear to others is also assessed separately. 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.
