Assessment
Unaided Work:
Student performs independent work on the acquisition of skills and abilities, physical presentation, video and presentation for audience presentation.
Assessment Criteria:
The final assessment of the study course consists of the cumulative assessment of the semester test and exam. Both of these sections are mandatory and should be completed successfully. If a student has not passed the semester test, he/she cannot be admitted to take the exam. During the study course, one semester work is developed, which must be presented in a practical class; the work is assessed for compliance with the assigned topic, lecture material and the quality of the work. Fully compliant work is evaluated with 10 points. Students write an exam, which consists of ten questions, which must be answered in free form. Each fully answered question is evaluated with one point. In total, it is possible to receive a maximum of 10 points. The final assessment of the study course consists of the average assessment in the semester test and exam; the final grade is given only if at least 4 points are received for semester test and exam.
