Learning outcomes
|
Students choose the topic of the project during the internship and are expected to work actively on the preparation phase. During the semester, students work on their chosen project combining research and application parts (overview of theoretical background and methodology, design of the application part of the project, justification, analysis of results). The resulting project in the form of a presentation is defended in front of a group of classmates, demonstrating skills in working with sources, collecting, sorting and analysing information, creatively applying and evaluating the knowledge and data obtained. They must also demonstrate presentation skills, the ability to critically evaluate and work with questions.
