Teaching methods
Lectures - mediating knowledge in longer continuous speech. An explanation that focuses only on the interpretation of concepts, rules and laws. A narrative that conveys knowledge to students by providing curriculum based on a certain storyline. Discussion method - collective solution of a given problem, when through an exchange of views between the teacher and students, the problem is collectively solved. Problem method - students are not given the finished knowledge, but are encouraged to derive new knowledge, either individually or with little help from the teacher. Comprehensive teaching methods in the form of group and cooperative teaching, when group teaching consists of dividing students into groups, collaborating students in solving a task, helping each other with group members, and the responsibility of individual students for results together. Cooperative teaching is based on cooperation between students in solving various tasks and problems Didactic principles, especially: - Illustrative principle, which leads to the creation of ideas based on sensory knowledge of real objects, processes and phenomena, directly or in their visual representation. This principle is the golden rule of successful teaching. - The principle of linking theory with practice, which expresses the requirement for students to apply the acquired knowledge and skills in vocational subjects in time and at an appropriate level in practice.
Assessment methods
The student can take the exam only if he/she processes and submits the PTO in the specified quality and by the deadline. The course is completed with a written test. To successfully complete the course, a minimum of 60 points must be obtained from the sum of the examination test and the POT score. The overall grade for the course is determined by the sum of the written exam score (max. 80 points), POT (max. 20 points). - The following grading scale applies to student assessment: A: 92-100%, B: 91-84%, C: 83-76%, D: 75-68%, E: 67-60%, F: less than 60%. - Note: "Any copying, recording or taking of tests, use of unauthorized aids and communication devices, or any other interference with the objectivity of the examination (credit) will be considered a failure to meet the requirements for graduation and a gross violation of the course regulations.
