TEACHING AND ASSESMENT METHODS
According to the Academic Regulations (see §14, art. 1 and 2; §18, art. 1 and 2), an assessment of obligatory courses is made by a lecturer on the basis of the student’s activity during classes and of achieved marks from tests, essays, papers, exercises, research laboratories. A lecturer is obliged to notify students about the final assessment methods at the beginning of the semester. If a course is evaluated by an examination, a lecturer notifies students about the extent of the knowledge required and the form of an examination. An appraisal/mark is confirmed by an entry in a student’s record book (in Polish: “indeks”), an examination card and an appraisal/examination official record.Courses in all types of studies at TEU have the form of group classes (lectures and seminars). In contrast to lectures, seminars consist of independent analysis of texts and discussions. There are also modes of individual delivery, for example distance learning and consultation with the faculty during their duty hours. ECTS credits and final marks for lectures are given on the basis of a final examination, which can be written (an essay, a test etc.) or oral. Active participation and inter-semester tests, sometimes a final examination as well, are the basis of giving marks for seminars. If a course consists of a lecture and a seminar, the final course mark takes into account an evaluation of both lectures and seminars. Distance learning is added to the general number of contact hours of seminars and the final mark for the course is combined of two evaluations of these teaching methods.The Academic Regulations guarantee TEU students a chance to express their opinion on a study plan and study programmes, on the didactic process and the faculty, on every single course unit. Anonymous evaluation forms for every course unit are distributed at the end of each semester. The opinions are carefully analysed independently and the outcomes serve to improve and up-date the TEU educational offer.
