The number of intermediate assessments and their expression in percentage are chosen by the study module’s coordinating lecturer. Besides the usual forms of assessment (for example, examination, oral presentation, project report, laboratory examination), an additional form of assessment “Assessment of student activity (level)” may be applied (up to 10% of the final grade) for the assessment of the student’s preparation for case analysis, an active discussion, participation in debates, etc.
