Assessment methods: Assessment training: based on the average ratings of the two tests conducted during the semester, presentations,and presence in the exercises. Attendance at the exercises is mandatory; student can only have one unexcused absence. In the absence of the student is required to complete their own knowledge, which was reazlizowana during exercise, which he left. Colloquium is to form a closed test -test single choice - made up of the practice part contains 20 questions and the lecture part consists of questions 10 If the student does not obtain zaliczneia in pierwzym period has the right to improve the test in the form and time limit set by the teacher. Every test lasts ok.30.min. In order to pass a test a student must obtain a globally min. 60% of this part of the lecture and classrooms. Presentation on a given topic is in the form of a multimedia presentation prepared by a team consisting of 2-3 students. The duration of the presentation of 10-15 minutes. Completion of the course: the student must receive a positive evaluation of tests to check the knowledge of the material processed at the exercises and lectures, as well as have the required quantity of attendance and give a report. Student holding a credit training is also obliged to provide written credit (closed test multiple choice consisting of a 10 questions) of the material of instruction. Test part of the lecture is included with each aptitude test knowledge of the contents turned into exercises.
