Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory work
Assessment methods and criteria
Evaluation is carried out according to the modular rating system. It consists of 2 modules. Forms of current control: assessment of the level of laboratory work and submission of reports on their implementation. The student can receive a maximum of 50 points for each module. The results of students' learning activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale in the semester: 100 points for content modules, credit score is calculated as the sum of points received by students in the preparation, implementation and delivery of laboratory work. .
