Activities of teaching and learning:
Interactive theory lectures: explanation during lectures along with analysis of practical examples, demonstration of method application, discussion, seminar, group-work, brainstorming, and case analysis. Practice in computer classrooms, laboratory and practical works, solving of practical tasks, interactive solving of tasks, analysis of drawings, laboratory works in a virtual laboratory, report of laboratory and practical work, practical test tasks, and application of knowledge about the limits of laboratory equipment application. Project preparation under the lecturer’s consultation, self-study, work report, presentation and defence. Self-study: report, presentation, demonstration, self-check tests, self-study of scientific literature.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Students’ subject learning outcomes are assessed using a ten-point assessment scheme. Respectively, one or several assessment criteria for study achievements are formulated. Assessment criteria are the basis for preparation of knowledge evaluation tasks of various forms, because the execution of the latter allows the drawing conclusions about the level of achievement of learning outcomes. Assessment procedure, assessment system and assessment criteria are based on the principles of consistency, reliability, clarity, usefulness and impartiality. For the assessment of student’s study subject achievement, accumulative (learning outcomes are assessed by means of intermediate knowledge assessments) or collegial (in case of graduation paper, students are examined by a competent commission consisting of scientists, professional practitioners, and representatives of social partners) assessment is used.
