- Themes of students works: 1. Didactical transformation of metodological problem In the beginning of the semester students choose one of offered metodological themes – problems, which they expertly elaborate icluding the didactical transformation. Each sstudent (pair of students) elaborates different theme according to list. The work has a range of 8000 marks including the gaps.
