Learning outcomes
Special projects are aimed especially to support Physical methods of study of thin layers, Print production management and Colorimetry courses. The objective of the course is to improve knowledge of individual methods and processes through practising. The emphasis is also put on ability to find solutions independently and analyse gained results or skills.
On completion of this course, the student understands the estimation of print costs, features of printing plant project for defined jobs and methods supporting quality management. Student also has experiences with the colour management, mixing and spectral models application, as well as with the use of physical methods for study of thin layers.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of courses of study program Graphic Arts and Printing Technology (Printing technology and print quality, Methods of statistical analyses, Colorimetry, Physical methods of study of thin layers, Print production management).

Assessment methods and criteria
Home assignment evaluation, Student performance assessment

The course will be assessed through continuous examination of necessary theoretical background and practice during all exercises, including reports or presentations and results discussion. Students must prove sufficient knowledge before the start of each exercise. If students are not appropriately prepared, they cannot proceed with the task. (Due to time demands of excercises and capacity utilization of teachers, classrooms and equipment, the possibilities of substitute date are strongly limited.) Unless specified differently, required outputs must be handed over within one week after task completion. In case of each late submission, final mark will be reduced about half a grade. These conditions apply also for repeated submission when revision of output was needed.
