Assessment methods
The form of education is a mix of lectures, case studies solving and seminar works presentations. Students are obliged to work up one seminar work in a group of two and present it during the lectures. Each presentation should last about 20 minutes. Information to the structure of presentation and topics to choose will be given during first lecture. Final exam test contains 20 questions. Assessment: 38% of points for seminar work, 12% for acitvity during the lectures, 50% for final test. Any copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the subject and as a serious breach of study regulations.
