Assessment methods
Mid-term test (multiple choice + open questions), active preparation for seminars and participation during seminars, final group project.

Students must reach at least 50% in group project report assessment and 60 % in seminar preparation and participation in seminars and discussions. The final assessment consists of the mid-term test, seminar preparation, and activity, and defense of the final project.

Any plagiarism in assignments during the semester, and copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the course and as a serious breach of study regulations. Consequently, the teacher grades the student with "F" or "N" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.
Náhradní absolvování
