            Assessment methods and criteria
        
        
            - semester assessment:
1. Tests: 3, each – 10 points
2. Lecture work – 10 points
3. Short independent tasks – 10 points
- final assessment (in the form of an exam/complex exam,
differentiated assessment):
Exam – 50 points
- conditions for admission to the final exam:
at least 10 points during the semester
Tests are carried out in the middle (first module) and at the end (second module)
of the semester. Lecture work and short independent tasks are assessed during the semester with
summarizing the results for the first and second modules
