Student responsibilities:

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

Colloquiums or written exam - 90% Oral exam - 10 %

Methods of monitoring quality that ensure acquisition of exit competences:

The interaction with students during class (asking questions) is checked understanding the material and the acquisition of competencies and skills in accordance with the learning outcomes.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

After successfully attended course, the student will be able to: - List the basic types of reinforcements and matrices - Explain the processes of production of polymeric composites - Identify the process of production of polymeric composites for actual product - Choose a process of polymeric composite production - Prepare materials (reinforcement and matrix) and equipment for the most common methods of production of polymeric composites.
