| Assessment Method | The assessment for this course has been split into two elements. The first element is 2h written examination, which covers theoretical aspects of the course, while 2nd elements consider project development in the frame of the course. The examination will be carried out in the written form. The project will be delivered as a report describing all important aspects of the project implementation. |
| Independent study | During the course, additional materials will be provided for self-reading. The rest independent study will consist of the preparation of the project elements, which will be presented as a report. |
