Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Independent work is regularly determined by in-depth study of the topics covered in the contact hours (lectures), guided by the specific sources of information in the lectures. Permanent work in the library, because then there is a much wider access to Internet resources. Printed sources of information are also available in the profiling department. Practical task: Development of a freely chosen wooden product (product) development scenario and presentation seminar. (96h)

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The final assessment of the study course consists of 1. Written exam - 50%; 2. Test - 20%; 3.Permanent work - 30%
