For mastering the study course, the student receives a differentiated assessment in a 10-point grading system in accordance with the LASE requirements. To get a positive assessment for the study course, the total assessment should sum up to at least 4 (minimum level). The student receives assessment by summing up the number of points, assessing knowledge, skills and competences in the performance of individual tasks (independent works, test works, active activity in theoretical, practical classes and seminars, practical demonstration of skills, attitude and individual dynamics). To obtain a positive assessment, the differentiated test requirements are: 1. development dynamics, activity in seminars and group work – 10%; 2. independent work performed by the student – 50%; 3. test works during the study course – 40%
