Activities of teaching and learning:
innovative teaching and learning methods are applied. The subjects of the study field, which provide knowledge based on the specialty of radiology technologist and develop the skills of their application, will be taught on the basis of oral (traditional and interactive lectures, discussions, seminars), visual / demonstration and practical methods (laboratory work, practical tasks, reflections). Special skills will be developed during internships, case analysis, execution of individual tasks and projects, analysis of professional ethics and legal documents. Ability to conduct research based on students' individual research, data collection, ability to perform data analysis, systematizing and summarizing research results, assessing the quality of imaging and radiological services will be improved during coursework, final work and description, individual consultations with the supervisor. Student's independent work is based on tasks, teamwork, where problematic and critical thinking is important. The program aims at active student participation in the study process, finding and applying problem-solving methods.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
the ten-point cumulative assessment system applies to the assessment of knowledge and skills. Study results are assessed through interim assessments (tests, individual and group tasks and their presentation, projects, defense of practical, laboratory and independent work, etc.). The final assessment (grade) consists of a cumulative assessment based on the marks of intermediate assessments and examinations.
