The course is designed to give students a deeper insight into the mystery celebration of the Church, its theology and ecclesiology.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
The student organizes his/her studies based on the study materials and instructions in the LMS; he/she participates in the mandatory online webinars and completes continuous short assignments or tests (approximately 4). If the student excuses himself/herself from a mandatory webinar, he/she can watch it from the recording. However, the instructor will appropriately verify that the student has studied the material on the recording. An oral colloquium at the end of the semester will test whether the student is able to speak with understanding about the topics covered. The assessment of the colloquium will also take into account the score of the continuous tests in the LMS.
