Practical seminars using media technologies and distant learning technologies (30 hours). Consultations in the classroom or using means of distant learning (4 hours). Self-study using the materials in the electronic form provided by the instructor (28 hours).

Semester evaluation is performed through delivering of two in-class oral reports. A student can earn a maximum of 30 points for each of these reports. The final evaluation at the end of semester is performed by means of the combined written/oral test, which can give a maximum of 40 points. The course is passed with a positive grade if the total number of points obtained from all evaluations is no less than 60.
