The learning assignment is presented orally using the PechaKucha method (the presentation is required as part of the course completion). Intermediate tasks are assessed as pass/fail (not considered as part of the numerical assessment of the course, a pass is required). At the end of the course, the student prepares a written self-assessment, which is also evaluated as pass/fail (not considered as part of the numerical assessment of the course, a pass is required). Peer assessment is utilized as part of the evaluation of the intermediate task and the oral presentation of the learning assignment.
