Student workload

The number of credits for the course is five credits. Computationally, completing one credit requires 27 hours of work. According to this calculation, the total number of hours of the course is 135 hours. The course has 28 hours of lectures, which means that 107 hours of the workload are outside the lectures. This number of hours is divided into preparation for lectures (materials or assignments to be read in advance), planning and implementation of project work, as well as documentation and presentation. Based on these hours, you will be able to assess what kind of effort is expected of you in course work and how the workload of the course compares to other courses.

The workload measurement is indicative and indicative of the average workload needed to achieve the learning objectives of the course and a grade of 3/5. Depending on the student's previous skills and experience, the amount of work may be less or more. The competence acquired in the course is evaluated through assignments and other achievements, not by the number of hours completed.
