General Rules
The method of evaluating the learning outcomes set out in point 2.2.: evaluation of the competencies acquired during the semester (project tasks prepared and presented in groups of 2-3);
Performance assessment methods
Detailed description of performance evaluations during the working period: Formative assessment: the complex evaluation method of the subject and knowledge and ability-type competence elements is the creation of group-prepared and presented project tasks. The project task focuses on the assessment of the acquired knowledge and its application, thus focusing on problem recognition and solution. The course material on which the evaluation is based is determined by the lecturer of the subject.
