The students carry out team work and individual work to solve a multidisciplinary real-life problem depending on the specifics of (a) concrete study programme(s), the needs of the employer and/or society. Under the supervision of a lecturer and/or mentor, the objectives, time frame and activities to be carried out for solving a problem/implementation of a project are agreed. Students are supervised how to plan and manage their activities in a way that contributes to problem solving / project implementation in an agreed format. Students present the results of the problem-solving process / project and understand the importance of both team and individual work in the context of problem solving/project implementation.
type of assessment in Estonian
Lähtuvad konkreetsete probleemi lahendamise / projekti hindamisviisi(de)st ja nende kombineerimisest (nt projektitöö, prototüüp, presentatsioon, eneseanalüüs, õpimapp jm) ning nendele seatud miinimumlävendist.
type of assessment in English
Based on the assessment methods of the concrete problem-solving task /project and their combination (e.g. a project work, prototype, presentation, self-analysis, portfolio, etc.) and the minimum threshold set for them.
