Assessment methods and criteria

Written exam
Even though the lectures are optional, the student actively participates in the lectures in their own interest. Student activity takes the form of questions and answers to teacher's questions. Another activity is the student's self-study of video on the Internet, containing a debate in a foreign language on a selected topic of philosophical theology. These activities are scored, with the result being added to the test result. The quality of the student's study is evaluated by a final written test with open questions. Details can be found at the beginning of the course in a document that the teacher sends to the faculty email addresses of the students.
