                      | Criteria for evaluation | 
                      The lecture finishes with a written, 2.5h examination. The evaluation contains multiple choice questions, free descriptions of various techniques, free thinking – actions to take in real life situations and problem solving with elementary calculations.

                      The examination at the end of this lecture is not something one would „try“ without thorough preparation. Having the necessary knowledge to pass the exam is a matter of study, not a matter of luck. Presence at the lecture is not compulsory, but is strongly recommended.
