type of assessment in Estonian
Kursuseprojekti koostamine meeskonnatöö (5-6 üliõpilast moodustavad ühe meeskonna) põhimõttel ja selle ülevaatlik tutvustus ning kaitsmine suulise presentatsioonina. Hinne koosneb kursuseprojekti kirjalikust osast (50%), suulisest presentatsioonist (30%) ja meeskonda kuuluvate liikmete hinnagust teineteisele (20%).
type of assessment in English
Performing course project as teamwork (5-6 students in one team) including overview presentation and its oral defense. Final grade will be the sum of written course project (50%), oral presentation (30%) and team members evaluation (20%).
independent study in Estonian
Kursuseprojekti, mis koostatakse valitud ehitise/rajatise projekti põhjal (meeskond valib selle ise vabalt või olemasolevast projektipangast) meeskonnatööna ning valmistatakse ette ülevaatlik suuline ettekanne.
independent study in English
Course project as a teamwork of building/erection project overview of documentation (team can choose its own building/erection or from ready database) and prepared as an oral presentation.
