Assessment methods and criteria
The semester number of points is formed by points, obtained by the acquirer in the process of assimilation of material from all topics of the two content modules of their work
during lectures and practical classes and performance of individual research and analytical or creative and analytical works.
Final evaluation in the form of an exam: the maximum number of points in the exam is 40 points, the minimum number of points that are added to semester points is 24 points (60% of the maximum the number of points assigned to the exam).
