Additional literature:

Each task has a separate literature list. The task tutor assists the student in choosing the most appropriate positions or suggests other positions. The laboratory has its own library. Books can be used on site or borrowed briefly at home.

Assessment methods:

colloquium - W1, W2, U2, K1

report - U1, U3, U4, K2

Assessment criteria:

The student is required to complete 4 tasks during the semester. The task consists of: passing a test on theoretical knowledge about the task, completing the task and presenting a written report containing the description of the task and developing the results. Each task is assessed taking into account the above-mentioned elements.
