Activities of teaching and learning:
The main study methods that are applied in the University are traditional and thematic authentic lectures of social partners, practice and laboratory works, investigation and/or analysis of a specific case by providing one’s own speculations in the form of reflexion, work in small groups by performing individual assignments, seminars, discussions; development, introduction and discussion of course projects, training and industrial (speciality) practice, oriented active learning/teaching methods are applied. Specific situations which arise during works and projects are analysed and solved by using acquired knowledge and competences in a complex way.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
When assessing student’s results define application of the cumulative assessment system. Observing the principles of consistency and systematicity, study subject programmes include intermediate testing, during which specific learning outcomes are assessed. Studies of each subject are terminated with the final exam. The prevailing methods of learning outcome assessment are test, report, defence of laboratory work description, presentation of individual assignment or project, presentation in a seminar on the selected topic, collegial assessmen
