- practicals;

The standard course of is 72 hours (2.0 credits) for full-time students. This
number of hours includes all forms of educational process depending on the mode
(learning), the duration of certain forms of educational process equally (there is an
only exception for individual classes provided only for full-time study).
The lectures deal with themes or individual issues that are both complex in
meaning, incomplete and not systematically described particularly in text books.
At the workshops the most significant methodological issues requiring
discussion and understanding of their essence are considered.
Each student independently should solve problems, analyze specific situations,
making progress step by step and keep obtained results (in written form). At the
workshops tested ways of their answers are checked and only after that a final
decision can be made. At the practicals students' current level of knowledge is

obtaining required skills after the lectures. It presupposes reading special text books
and doing assignments.
