Assessment
Unaided Work:
Attendance in the lectures and practical classes; preparation for tests (tests, seminars and colloquia) according to the content of the study course; preparation for the end of the study course; individual and group work; work with study materials, study literature (research, analysis), RSU e-study materials; presentation of the results of practical work; execution of specific tasks; presentation of works; attendance in the consultations on the content of the course.
Assessment Criteria:

Active participation in practical classes and seminars, passing tests and colloquiums provided for in them (20%). 2. The regular and constant acquisition of the mentioned theoretical literature (10%). 3. Oral presentation of independent work (20%). 4. Oral exam (50%). Actively participate in practical classes and seminars, pass the planned tests and colloquiums. Requirements: The student actively participates in all practical classes and seminars, productively participates in discussions of the situation analysis on a specific issue, problem, can substantiate and defend his / her opinion, uses appropriate terminology and refers to the read literature sources. Pass the planned tests and colloquiums successfully and on time. Independently read the indicated literature sources and prepare a report or presentation on a specific topic. Requirements: To acquaint other students with a specific topic, using comprehensible, sequential information and emphasizing the most important, supplementing the story with examples and illustrating with appropriate teaching aids. During the report or presentation, try to involve the other classmates by asking them separate questions or tasks, and at the end make a summary of the specific topic.
