Learning outcomes of the course unit

Prerequisites

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Conditions for granting the course-unit credit: Attendance, active participation in the seminars and submission of given tasks, including their presentation, where the maximum of 10 points can be reached.


Examination: Examination is split into two parts. The content of the first mandatory part is the written test, where the maximum of 80 points can be reached. The content of the second part, which is optional, is an oral examination, where it can be reached from -10 to +10 points. Specific form of the examination, types of the tasks, questions and other details will be communicated during the semester by the lecturers personally and through the E-learning.

 

Attendance on the seminars is mandatory. A continuous control of the presence of students is conducted, including the control of activity and basic knowledge. Unexcused absence is grounds for not granting the course-unit credit.
