- Teaching methods
- Lectures will provide theoretical background. The lectures are followed by practical exercises. The lectures discuss the basic issues of the subject. This knowledge is further deepened via specific practical tasks in exercises. According to the syllabi, materials for self-study and preparation will be available in the study materials for each topic, including references to the relevant chapters in the textbook.textbook.
- Assessment methods
- Colloquium - ROPOT test - 40 multiple-choice questions with 3 - 5 answer options. The number of correct answers is given.
Student gets 2 points for each completely correct answer, i.e. maximum 80 points for the whole multiple-choice test. The MCQ test can be repeated only twice.
To pass the colloquium successfully the student has to obtain at least 48 points.
