- Students will analyze and optimyze systems for non-motor aircraft and aircraft with an auxiliary motor, whitch are used for vol libre.
- Student responsibilities:
- Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:
- -continuous evaluation of work and motivation during classes - evaluation of colloquia and seminars, or exam
- Methods of monitoring quality that ensure acquisition of exit competences:
- - analysis of nonstructured classes" discussions - analisys seminar's quality levels
- Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):
