Course detail

Student team project

FSI-0SPAcad. year: 2024/2025

The course is focused on supporting student activities as a form of acquiring so-called Soft Skills (project thinking, teamwork, communication, negotiation with partners, etc.), gaining an interdisciplinary overview, and improving in their field. This is realized by involving the student in projects and activities of the student team (depending on the field of study and the student’s interest) with an emphasis on the application of challenge-based learning.
In the first week of the semester, based on a consultation with the management of the student team, the student is given a plan of three tasks and three selected goals that he/she wants to achieve during the course.
During the semester, the student works on assigned tasks, consults them with the team, participates in at least one workshop announced based on the goals of all participants in the subject. At the end of the semester, there is a presentation of his/her results to colleagues and the student team.
