Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

The task of the course project is prepared individually for each student. The task contains data on the type of production, total volumes of production and necessary raw materials. Independent work is organized in order to facilitate students' practical skills in making calculations and to find correlations with the data found in information sources.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The successful final evaluation of the study course consists of:
A course project had fulfilled requirements and defended with the terms of reference to the task justification.
