Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester
The knowledge of students is continuously verified during each lesson in
the form of discussion and questions with the aim of actively involving
students in the lecture. Students elaborate a semestral paper according to
an individual assignment and present its results. Students' knowledge is
verified at the end of the semester by a written test and oral exam.
