Teaching methods
Lectures with a presentation of examples and real situations, case studies.
Assessment methods
During the semester, the student is working on a POT (tutor-corrected work). The presentation of the POT is necessary ant its positive evaluation by the tutor is a condition for the admission to the written exam. The student is obliged to choose one of the given POT topics, to present it on the beforehand agreed date and to turn in the final presentation to the corresponding Homework Vault. Any copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the subject and as a serious breach of study regulations. As a consequence, the teacher grades the student with "F" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.
