Assessment methods: During practicals, knowledge W1 and W2 are verified on the basis of two written rated tests (45 min.). On each of them, there are 4 questions (descriptive and problem) involving topics discussed during lectures and practicals. To pass the test student will have to obtain at least 60% of the points (answers to each question are evaluated on a scale of 0 to 5 points). Skills U1 and U2 are assessed by validating tasks carried out with use of Genup and SelAction software. Also competence K1, that require working in teams, is assessed during practicals. Completion of the course is based on the average assessment from practicals and lectures.The prerequisiteis to obtain an average of 3.0 in all established learning outcomes.
