Assessment methods and criteria

Oral examination
Requirements for lectures and seminars: Students are expected to prepare for classes on an ongoing basis, work with the required and recommended academic literature, and actively participate in seminars. Seminar sessions will focus on understanding and applying the topics covered through discussions, work with academic texts, practical exercises, and experiential activities. The experiential activities are intended to deepen students' understanding of psychological processes and personality characteristics through personal experience and subsequent academic reflection. A minimum of 80% attendance at seminars is required to complete the seminar component of the course. In cases of higher absence, students may be assigned compensatory work related to the content of the missed sessions. The theoretical part of the course may be completed, at the instructor's discretion, by either a written test or an oral examination, or by a combination of both.
