Teaching methods
Teaching takes form of lectures and seminars (supplemented with graphic and audiovisual materials) and a case study with calculation of examples.
Assessment methods
Control tests are held in 9th (running) and 12th (concluding) weeks of semester and students must pass them. Form of the exam: writen and oral Reaching 60% of points is a prerequisite for admission to the test. The same conditions hold for the final test (60%).

"Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination."
