Teaching methods
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
Ongoing tests will be written during seminars in weeks according to schedule. If a student is physically unable to take 1 of the seminar tests (excuse will be judged by the seminar leader), he/she may write an alternate test on an agreed date. Conditions for participation in graduation test, 2 control tests with average rating of 60% or more. A student who fails to seminars - ie. resulting interim assessment tests is less than 60%, will write the replacement test of the whole substance. To pass the test he must achieve at least 60%. Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
