5.2. To be able to evaluate biotechnological processes and progress, to select information about development and implementation of technologies, to adopt technological solutions related to multiple problems, to develop and manage biotechnological projects.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Active lectures (only for compulsory courses), seminars, discussions, work with moderator, individual work, reports, projects.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Continuous/intermediate (test, work during the exercise performance report) and a final evaluation (exam, presentation) or credit. Exams and credits are carried in writing or orally and in writing. The results are evaluated by grades from 1 to 10 in ten-point grading system or are credited. The subject is settled, where the final evaluation is higher than 4 points, in the case of the credit is "credited“. The final evaluation of the results of subject is the cumulative grade, the composition of which is calculated according to the proportions indicated in subject‘s description.
