Activities of teaching and learning:
Lectures, practical classes, laboratory work, reading of the instructional literature, task solving, preparation and presentation of the literature review, course projects, self-study, professional practice, final thesis project.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Cumulative assessment is applied. Certain learning outcomes foreseen by the curriculum are assessed by components of the cumulative assessment. Each subject or module is completed with the final examination or the assessment of the student's individual work (project). The final grade consists of the cumulative assessment components, which are indicated in the curriculum of the study subject (e.g. intermediate settlements, self-study, examination). The percentage of the final grade is indicated in the curriculum of the study subject.
