Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course uses teaching methods in form of Laboratory exercise - 2 teaching hours per week. The e-learning system (LMS Moodle) is available to teachers and students.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Graded course-unit credit system. The student evaluation depends on the prescribed measurement attendance, the measured process knowledge, measurement skills and self-activities, the report term and quality elaboration. The student credit is condicioned by the possible reimburse payment. The measurment in the alternate term is possible in the very limited terms.
