Activities of teaching and learning:
Material of the study module is mastered both during classroom activities and individual work. Classroom activities include lectures, group research and practical work. Individual work is comprised of studying of theoretical material, preparation for lectures, group research and practical work, midterms and exam. It also includes preparation of homework, projects and other activities aimed at gaining knowledge, skills and abilities. The study programme is completed by final project of the Bachelor’s degree studies.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Knowledge, abilities and skills to be acquired by the student in the course of the study programme are assessed and entered into the databases twice: during assessment of the student’s independent work (positive or negative assessment) and during the exam session (grade under the ten-point scale).
