Activities of teaching and learning:
The material of all study modules is mastered during the students’ classroom and independent work. Classroom work includes lectures, laboratory work and assignments. Various teaching and learning methods that promote student participation are applied during classroom work: discussion, group work, simulation models, application of special software packages, design (project preparation and visualization), problem solving, case analysis, problem-based and project learning, reflection of activities. The students’ independent work is the mastering of theoretical material, preparation for lectures, laboratory work and assignments, intermediate tests for the tasks and examinations of the semester, preparation of homework and projects. Lectures of visiting lecturers (practitioners), study trips to production and business enterprises, consulting seminars are organized during studies. The study program is completed with a bachelor's final project.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The student's knowledge, abilities and skills acquired during the course of the module are assessed and recorded in the databases twice: when paying for a semester's independent job (positive or negative assessment) and during the exam session. A ten-point Scale and Cumulative Scoring Scheme are applied. During the semester, the cumulative student score consists of assessments for individual and / or group projects, interim exam, control or laboratory work, analysis and presentation of the literature source / scientific article, case study, report, practice-based assignments, etc.
Final exam (written or oral) makes at least 30 percent of final score.
Students receive oral and / or written feedback from their teacher on their intermediate exams, presentations, home assignments, individual tasks. During the work in the classroom, peer-review comments about peer-group teamwork skills, oral presentations, projects, and so on are used.
