Assessment methods and criteria
Knowledge control is carried out according to the ECTS system, which provides for a two-level assessment of the learned material, in particular, the assessment of theoretical training - learning outcomes (knowledge 1.1 - 1.4), which makes up 40% of the total assessment and the assessment of practical training - learning outcomes (skills 2.1-2.5); (communication 3.1-3.3); (autonomy and responsibility 4.1-4.3), which is 60% of the total grade. For students who scored a total of less than the critical minimum of 30 points, in order to receive a credit, it is necessary to complete the missed independent work in writing and submit/send by e-mail to the teacher conducting the lectures. Thus, the final grade for the discipline (minimum 30, maximum 50 points) consists of the sum of the number of points for the semester work (minimum 24, maximum 40 points) and the final test (minimum 6, maximum 10 points).
