Requirements for awarding credit points

Course work. The course work mark consists of:
• independently, in consultation with the supervisor, a summary of the scientific work in the form of a study paper and a publication form has been developed;

• the publication was submitted in the collection of articles of the study program students' scientific conference “Student on their Way to Science” or in the international student conference “Students on their Way to Science”

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Scientific work must be carried out independently, in consultation with the supervisor, demonstrating professional competencies in the necessary scientific literature studies, application of research methods in selected research data acquisition and processing.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

To achieve the study results (for the evaluation of the course work) the following is evaluated:
• Student's independent work during the development of scientific work;
• The student's skills to freely apply the knowledge acquired during the studies and to independently select the literature necessary for the work, the ability to obtain data, analyze and critically evaluate the information on the issue and formulate reasoned conclusions and proposals;
• Preparation of a summary of scientific work and publication;

• Submission and presentation of the publication at the student scientific conference.
