Teaching methods

Interactive seminars in both types of study (full-time students and part-time students. Obligatory participation in interactive seminars: 75% full-time students; 50 % part-time students. Students who were not able to attend the seminars in the required percentage could be asked to work out additional tasks in the extent sufficiently proving their compentences necessary for successful completion of the subject.

Assessment methods

Assessment 1. Obligatory active participation in seminars: 75% full-time students; 50 % part-time students. 2. Apart from the obligatory active participation in the seminars, the students will have to pass a written test at the end of the course which will be a precondition for gaining the CREDITS. The minimum success level is reaching 60 points out of 100 point credit test. 3. Additional study obligations: in case the student has the seminar attendance between 40-70 % (full time students), or as the case may be, between 4-6 lessons (part-time students), he/she will be evaluated „-“ and automatically loses one attempt to pass the test. The seminar attendance less than 40 % means that the student didn't meet additional study obligations and he/she will be assessed as "Failed" = NNN. In such a case the student will have to transfer the subject into the following term/academic year, and following the purchase of the necessary credits he/she will have again three attempts to pass the subject (to write the test). Consequently, he/she will have three new attemps to pass the subject (i.e. write a test).
