Teaching methods

Contact teaching focuses on robotics theory and practical exercises. The implementation also includes plenty of group assignments in laboratory and independently made exercises to be returned. In short, implementation includes independent studying, working in groups and attending contact lessons

Student workload

A total of 135 hours of student work in the course, including about half of contact lessons and half of independent studying.

Further information for students

Self-assessments and peer reviews are made within exercises and learning tasks. The assessment decision is based on the exercises to be returned, laboratory work and exam.
