Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The evaluation of the course is based on the systematic, continuous work of the students during whole semester.
The course assessment is based on semester project solution, case study solution, selected topics solution in seminars/lectures, excursions or external lectures attending and written exam. Scoring of each component is following: semester projects solution (maximum 30 points/project); semester project defence (maximum 10 points); case study solution (maximum 10 points/case study); selected topics solution in seminars/lectures (maximum 5 points); attending additional activities maximum 4 (additional activities will be included during the semester, additional acitivites are expecially external lectures or excursion 5 points/lecture or excursion, which can be used for obtaining additional points to pass minimum points requirements.); written exam (maximum 50 points).
Students team have to hand over a written semestral project solution via e-learning by the end of 6th week of the semester in the form "teamleadersurname.docx" (or "teamleadersurname.doc"). Semester project(s) evaluation is based on weight of following factors i. e. scope and difficulty (20 %); selected solution approach, quality and content (40 %); formal form, graphic form, correct references usage inc. compliance with the requried scope (20 %) and critical perspective and thinking (20 %). On the other side late project submission is penalized by -20 %. Final semestral project defence is planned for two last weeks of semester. The semester project defence evaluate both practical knowledge (40 %) of solved problem (40 %) and knowledge of theoretical background (20 %). Whole team is evaluated.
Case study evaluation is based on weight of following factors i. e. theoretical knowledge and understanding (40 %); solution approach and quality (40 %); formal and graphic form, (20 %). On the other side late case study submission is penalized by -20 %.
Conditions for awarding the course – unit credit: fulfilling the assignments and submitting solution(s) in required time, content and form including presentation of results.
