• 5 tests have been successfully written
• developed homework
• developed independent work
• 16 laboratory works were developed and reports on the topics of the respective laboratory work were submitted
In the homework, technological cards are developed for two dishes (one, which does not use heat treatment, the other - which uses heat treatment), where the recipe is developed for two different outcomes.
The independent work is unified with the independent work of the study course Medi2004 Nutrition “Detailed development of a one-day balanced menu”, where technological documentation is developed for the dishes included in the menu (submitted electronically).
The exam consists of two tasks: a test of knowledge (50 questions) and develop a technological card. The exam takes place in written format.
If the cumulative assessment of the examinations performed during the semester on a 10-point scale is 8 (very good), then the exam does not have to be taken. The cumulative assessment (100% in the system) consists of tests (70%), assessment of homework (10%), assessment of independent work (20%), laboratory work with assessment - passed.
Tests obtain a successful grade (4 points) if half (50%) of their content is answered correctly. Reports on homework, independent work and laboratory work are evaluated according to the compliance of the quality of performance with the requirements set by the lecturer.
