Learning outcomes and their assessment

Student knows the types of wood materials, their connecting capabilities and processing technologies (1st Test). Development and properties of industrial design movements. Principles of planning and management of different technological processes (3rd Test, Practical Works).
Student understands the interaction between industrial design and technology development. Causation of technological, material and constructive properties and their importance in the design of the product (2nd Test).
Student is able to independently design and prepare a production plan for different wood products (Practical and Laboratory Works).

Requirements for awarding credit points

To obtain a successful final assessment:
• a minimum of 85% of lessons must be attended;
• written and received positive assessments in the tests;
• execute the tasks of the practical and laboratory work;
• the practical and laboratory work needs to be defended.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Prepare for tests, laboratory and practical work independently.
The uncompleted practical and laboratory work should be completed independently and submitted for evaluation in the following lesson.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

Assessing knowledge, skills and competencies takes place on a 10-grade scale.
A successful rating can be obtained if correctly executed or answered for more than 50% of the total amount.
The final score of the study course is cumulative, which shall be drawn up by:
• written tests – 30%;
• executed practical and laboratory work tasks - 40%;
• defence of practical and laboratory work tasks - 30%.
