Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester

Checking of knowledge during the semester in the consultation. The knowledge of the student is verified in written form, emphasis is given to the understanding of the topic and the application of theoretical knowledge in solving practical problems. The evaluation also includes collective evaluation and self-assessment. An active assessment of the students is also included in the class.
