Teaching methods

Short theoretical introduction followed by an e-learning application.

Assessment methods

Exam. Evaluation depends on result of the completed tasks in the e-learning application. It is possible to add points from the written test (will take place during the last – fourth- lecture). The fulfillment of the task in the e-learning application at the minimum required level is mandatory. The test is not mandatory, but points are added to the overall score. To pass the course without writting the test, it is necessary to complete the task in the e-learning application at an above-average level.
Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
