The evaluation of the course is based on the systematic, continuous work of the students during whole semester.
The course assessment is based on semester project(s) solution; selected logistics topic presentation; attending excursion, participation in lectures, seminars in computer laboratory and written exam. The maximum number of points is 100.
Scoring of each component is following: semester project(s) solution (maximum 30 points/total); selected logistics topic presentation (maximum 15 points); participation in seminars (maximum 10 points/whole semester), participation in lectures (maximum 5 points/whole semester) and written exam (maximum 40 points).
Additional activities (maximum 4) will be included during the semester. Additional acitivites are expecially external lectures (10 points/lecture) or practical training (10 points/training) or excurions (10 points/excursion), which can be used for obtaining additional points to pass minimum points requirements.
Evaluation of semester project(s) solution will be primarily based on attention to detail, systematic and creative approach. Semester project(s) evaluation is based on weight of following factors i. e. theoretical knowledge understanding and application (40 %); solution approach and quality (40 %); scope, formal form, graphic form, correct references usage (20 %). Chosen semester project topics should be sent via e-learning by the end of 5th week of the semester.
Students have to hand over a written semestral projects via e-learning by the end of 7th (solution of project no. 1) and 11th (solution of project no. 2) week of the semester in the form project file: surname1_surname2.xls or similar surname1_surname2.xxx. Late submission will be penalized by 5 points from the total score of semester project.
Evaluation of selected logistics topic presentation is based on weight of following factors i. e. theoretical knowledge understanding and application (40%); quality of presentation (40 %); meeting with formal conditions of presentation (20%).
Finally attendance of excursion, lectures, practical training and seminars in computer laboratory will be checked by the tutor.
The course requirements grade are course-unit credit and exam.
