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 . 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.
