Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures - 30 hours, Self-study -60 hours, consultations
Assessment methods and criteria
Interviews during the lecture, checking essays and other forms of independent work. Modular tests. Credit. Two modular tests: (15-30) points. A student is not allowed to take the credit if he / she scored less than 36 points during the semester. The grade for the credit cannot be less than 24 points to get an overall positive grade for the course.
