General Rules
The two pillars of the evaluation of learning outcomes set out in point 2.2.: 1. summative evaluation of the learning outcomes to test the competences acquired during the semester (2 mid-term exams); 2. as well as an optional independent study.
Performance assessment methods
Detailed description of performance evaluations during the semester: 1. Summative evaluation of learning outcomes: a complex, written evaluation method of the subject and knowledge and ability-type competence elements in the form of a mid-term exam. The test focuses on the assessment of the acquired knowledge and its application, thus placing the problem recognition and solution in the center. The course material on which the evaluation is based is determined by the lecturer of the subject, the available working time is 50 minutes. 2. Optional independent study: a complex evaluation method of the subject's knowledge, ability, attitude, independence and responsibility competence elements, which takes the form of an individual or group study. The content, requirements, submission deadline and evaluation method of the study are determined by the instructor.
