Teaching methods

Lectures with presentations and examples of real situations and their analysis, case studies, group discussion.

Assessment methods

Students have to achieve more than 60 % of total points in the mid-term seminar evaluation and final examination test (mid-term test maximum is 50 points, final test maximum is 50 points, maximum points gained is 100, it means that minimum points to successfully finish the course is 61 points). 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.
