Assessment
Unaided Work:
Student performs independent work on the acquisition of skills and abilities, physical presentation, video and presentation for audience presentation.
Assessment Criteria:
During the course two independent papers are prepared, they are presented to the audience and the work is evaluated for its compliance with the given topic, lecture material and quality of the work. Fully eligible works are evaluated in 10 points system. Students write an exam consisting of ten free-form written questions. Each completely correct question is scored with one point. It`s possible to get 10 points in the sum. The total assessment of the study course consists of the total assessment, independent work and examination assessment.
Final Examination (Full-Time):Exam
