| Independent processing of individual assignments, its evaluation and control by the teacher - a condition for granting credit for the course. During the first laboratory exercises, students are given a specific topic, which they work on independently in the form of a paper. The processed topics are presented in the last two laboratory exercises in front of other students and there will be a discussion about the presented topic and its relationship to other scientific areas with emphasis on practical current solutions and trends in the issue. The student should show broader technical literacy, the ability to analyze the directions of development and the ability to present the acquired knowledge. |
