Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, practical classes, independent work
Assessment methods and criteria
Each module includes lectures and practical classes. After each of them, students are assigned questions and tasks to prepare for practical classes. Independent work involves studying sources, completing assignments for each topic, and creating a digital project in stages. The assessment of students' progress is carried out in two forms: semester assessment (practical classes, tests, independent work, module paper) and final assessment (exam). Successful completion of the assignment (practical classes, independent work, exam) means obtaining at least 60% of the maximum score. The total amount of points is 100 points (of which the semester assessment is a maximum of 60 points, and the final assessment (exam) is a maximum of 40 points). Upon completion of modules 1-4 and 5, two module papers are conducted in the form of a test (assessment of theoretical and practical knowledge related to the programme topics).
