Lectures, practical classes, individual work

The assessment is based on classroom responses (oral/written form of work), completion of practical individual tasks, the ability to explain the progress of one's own work and to justify decisions made in the course of work, in particular, when performing and analysing machine translation, subtitling video translation, as well as on homework, class assignments, lecture notes and a written test. The grade is based on the student's performance throughout the semester and does not include additional assessment measures. Students who have scored a minimum positive number of points - 60, receive "passed". Students who do not score the minimum positive score of 60 points receive a "fail" grade.
