Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, final control work, tasks for the work out of classes, final examination
Assessment methods and criteria
Control works, tasks for the works out of classes, answers at the final examination are evaluated. The contribution of the different components into the final mark under the condition of successful preparation of all the tasks is: knowledge – up to 50%, scills – up to 35%, communication – up to 5%, autonomy and responsibility – up to 10%.
