Assessment methods
The course is completed in the autumn semester with a credit.

The student must fulfil the following conditions: - continuous preparation for the course (work with the course support)
- active participation in class, proper completion of homework assignments
- regular attendance (max. three unexcused absences are allowed, the exception being students with more advanced knowledge of Polish who achieve an adequate pass rate in the assessment test at the beginning of the semester).
