Activities of teaching and learning:
The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, consultation seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence.
The study methods of active learning, such as design (programming), design thinking, challenge-based learning, creative workshops, group work, experiential learning, discussion, problem-based learning, reflective learning, idea (mind) mapping, etc. are applied to encourage the active participation and creativity of students in the study process. The achievements are assessed using the traditional assessment methods, such as laboratory examination, assignments, laboratory or project report, as well as other methods: work or competency file (portfolio), problem-solving task, engineering project, reflection on action, self-assessment, etc.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components).
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.
