| Unaided Work: | Independent work of students is organised on individual basis and/or in working groups by assigning the following tasks: to prepare independently for seminars, practical works and intermediate examination (E1, E2), final examination (E3); to prepare presentation on food and nutrition risk analysis; to study literature on topics related to respective course. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | Participation in seminars and practical works is mandatory. The final rating of the study course will be resulted from the: 1)Results of intermediate written test 20% (food quality criteria, management models, risk analysis) and discussion of their results; 2)Results of intermediate written test 20% (types of food contamination, food infections) and discussion of their results; 3)Presentation: food and nutrition risk analysis (20%); 4)Results of 2 practical works (HACCP stud; potential hazard analysis) (20%); 5)Results of the written examination – test 20% (formation of hazardous substances during technology processes; food products falsification. | ||||||||
