Lectures, practical sessions, independent work
Assessment methods and criteria
Assessment is carried out through a modular rating system and includes: completion of 2 semester-long practical projects (where students must demonstrate their grasp of acquired knowledge and solve assigned tasks using methods and tools specified by the instructor), completion of 10 independent practical tasks (where students must show the quality of their knowledge and solve assigned tasks without restrictions on tools and techniques used for problem-solving), and 2 written modular assessments. Final evaluation is conducted in the form of a written exam.
