Activities of teaching and learning:
Informatics study programme is oriented to the development of generic and specialist competences and creativity: lectures, seminars, discussions, individual and group projects, course work, practice, homework, case studies, public presentation and defense of projects, individual counselling, mind-maps, problem-solving reading, writing articles, information search and systematizing, etc.
Methods of student achievement assessment:
The assessment of the learning outcomes of the study programme is carried out during the semester and the examination session applying a cumulative assessment system. During the semester, the learning outcomes are assessed by means of interim assignments: tests, individual and group projects and their presentation, case studies, information search and systematizing, discussions, essays, independent creative tasks, seminars, term papers, practice reports, examinations, final projects.
