Teaching methods
Theoretical teaching in the form of lectures supported by an interactive curriculum. The direct connection of seminar instruction to lectures and the interactive curriculum will provide students with a structure for self-study and homework. The aim of the seminars is to deepen and incorporate the knowledge gained from direct and indirect teaching.

Direct Instruction:
- active participation of the student in the teaching: presentation of the results of self-study and homework;
- group teaching: group discussions and problem-solving;
- project-oriented teaching: analysis of case studies.
Indirect instruction:
- Analyze, evaluate, and propose recommendations to a selected person in the form of a comprehensive document (semester project);
- peer review of the semester project;
- homework deliverables and submission via the submission form in IS;
- thematic open book tests (answer sheets in IS) for self-study;
A portfolio is created from the lecture and seminar sessions and serves as the basis for the successful completion of the course (assessment is part of the oral exam).
Assessment methods
Students are graded A-F based on meeting the prerequisites below:
1. Active participation in seminars (2 absences allowed).
2. Completion of a portfolio, which is a condition for admission to the examination, in the following range:
a) Semester project in the form of a comprehensive text document according to the template. The content will be an analysis and evaluation of the nutritional status and dietary habits of the selected case study, along with a draft recommendation;
b) Completion of the Semester Project Peer Review;
c) Continuous completion of sub-assignments of independent work as assigned in the interactive curriculum.
The portfolio contributes a weight of 20% to the final grade.
3. Intermediate tests verifying knowledge of the areas studied (3 in total). Tests are taken at seminar time every fourth week of the semester. The maximum number of points obtained in all tests is 30. At least 70% of the maximum score (at least 21 points) is required for admission to the examination. The midterm tests contribute a weight of 20% to the final grade.
4. Passing the oral examination (Students draw one examination topic and present this in the context of a related case study). The oral examination accounts for 60% of the final mark.
