type of assessment in Estonian
Mitteeristuv hindamine lävendikriteeriumi alusel
type of assessment in English
non-graded assessment
independent study in Estonian
Iseseisev töö on vajalik igaks loenguks ning praktikumiks valmistumisel, aga ka koduste tööde tegemisel ning arvestuseks valmistumisel.
independent study in English
Independent study is requred for participation in lectures and laboratory classes, also for completing home assignments and preparing for the final assessment.
