Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

In independent work, each student must compile and analyze the results of the practical tests and compile a summary report of practice. On the second part of the practice, each student attends at the enterprises visits of glued wood products, prepares a report of practice. Both above mentioned reports need to be well-matched.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The successful final evaluation of the study course consists of:
1. Report of practical works - 50%
2. Report of enterprises visits - 50%
