Assessment methods
Acquisition of the required knowledge will be assessed through an oral exam. It is expected that the student will study two of the abovementioned topics and will be able to talk about them continuously (10-15 minutes per topic). The role of the teacher is not to test specific knowledge, but to assess the overall orientation of the student in the given topic. It is assumed that the student demonstrates both the orientation in the given topic on a general level (principles, methods, findings, ...) and the ability to apply this knowledge to the solution of selected sub-topic (eg., their own dissertation project).
