Planned educational events and teaching methods - lectures, seminars, practical classes, independent work

The subject of students' independent work is their study of both individual topics and some sections of the course program topics. Checking the level of mastery of the material of independently studied topics or individual sections is carried out during practical classes, assessment of individual tasks (presentation, essay, essay), modular test papers, final test paper. During the semester, the student's work is evaluated during each practical session (presentation, report, addition, participation in the discussion). The criteria for evaluating a student's answer are: • complete disclosure of the issue; • the logic of presentation; • use of basic and additional literature; • analytical reasoning, the ability to draw conclusions.
