General Rules

Assessment of the learning outcomes described under point 2.2. is based on both midterm and exam period assessments.

Performance assessment methods

A. Detailed description of assessments during the term: Students can apply for the topics announced at the beginning of the semester in order to individually or in a team collect specifics and practical examples (beyond general information and literary descriptions) related to them and present them at a predetermined time (optional research and presentation). The presentation slideshows must be sent by the student to the lecturers of the course at least 2 working days before the time of the presentation, and the presented presentation must be uploaded to the moodle page of the subject (with the help of the lecturers). With the presentation (and the underlying research) max. 25 points can be obtained, which are added to the exam score after reaching the min 50%. The signature can be obtained with the presentation (in this case, the additional plus points will be added to the exam score as a whole after reaching 50%). Furthermore, extra points can be earned during the semester with various optional class works and assignments. A maximum of 15 extra points can be obtained in one semester, of which 5 points are required for signature. The additional 10 points are added to the exam score after completing the minimum 50%. B. Assessment of the exam: A written exam must be passed: all the theoretical topics and the connected practical applicability discussed during the course must be known. A maximum of 100 points can be received for the successful solution of the T-F statements and the shorter-longer essay questions. The minimum requirement is the 50 %.
