Lectures, independent study by the student.

Assessment is conducted according to the ECTS system, which provides for a two-tier evaluation of the material covered, specifically an evaluation of theoretical training—learning outcomes, which account for 30% of the overall grade—and an evaluation of practical training—learning outcomes, which account for 70% of the overall grade. The semester credit total is composed of the credits earned by the student while mastering the material in both parts and completing independent assignments. A passing grade is awarded based on the student’s performance throughout the entire semester. Thus, the final grade consists of the sum of the semester credit total and the final exam score.
