Aim
The aim of the teaching of the subject is to deepen the knowledge of PhD students in environmental technology, as well as to fill the gaps in the narrower topic related to their special field of research. Furthermore, the aim is to acquaint students with the general characteristics of the field of environmental technology, local and global processes and problems, issues of general environmental regulation, the results of international movements and non-governmental organizations, and international conferences. Students will be introduced to the general characteristics of the biosphere, environment, biodiversity, pollutant spread, pollutants, pollution, protection, prevention, sustainable development, global warming, and more. topics. During the semester, students must solve an individual task related to their doctoral topic and help them present their results.

Teaching methodology
In the lectures of the subject held at a given time on a pre-arranged weekly basis, the parts of the curriculum related to the individual research topic of the students are presented in the framework of a consultation, which helps to acquire the parts of the curriculum independently. During the semester, students are given an individual task that belongs to the subject of the subject and is also related to their research topic, which they have to solve during the semester and report on the result. During the solution of individual tasks, within the framework of the lectures or beyond that, consultation is possible.

General rules
During the semester, the student solves an independent task closely related to his / her own doctoral research topic. During the semester, the theoretical lectures give each student the theoretical knowledge and methodology needed to solve the problem. Students work independently on their own assignments, and the lecturer is regularly consulted as they progress. At the end of the semester, students present the results in front of each other and prepare a documentation. At the end of the semester, the result of the oral exam consists of the completion of the semester assignment and the quality of the presentation.
Assessment methods
Detailed description of mid-term assessments
| Mid-term assessment No. 1 | ||
| Type: | formative assessment, project-based, complex | |
| Number: | 1 | |
| Purpose, description: | To be developed during the semester, a project task related to PhD research, which helps to deepen the acquisition of the curriculum through theoretical and practical calculations and derivations. The aim of the partial achievement is to examine the existence of knowledge, ability, attitude, and learning outcomes belonging to the autonomy and responsibility competence group. Upon successful completion of the task, the student stabilizes the knowledge acquired in the lectures. | |
Detailed description of assessments performed during the examination period
Elements of the exam:
| Written partial exam | ||
| Obligation: | mandatory (partial) exam unit, failing the unit results in fail (1) exam result | |
| Description: | In the written exam, the speaker gives three questions to be explained from the curriculum, which the students develop over a given period of 120 minutes. In order to develop the written examination task, the students taking the written examination may not use any aids not permitted by the instructor during the written examination and may write their answers only on the official examination sheet issued by the department. | |
| Oral partial exam | ||
| Obligation: | mandatory (partial) exam unit, failing the unit results in fail (1) exam result | |
| Description: | In the oral exam, the speaker asks three questions from the curriculum, which the students answer in detail at the board after a few minutes of reflection time. In order to develop the oral examination question, the students taking the oral examination may not use any aids not permitted by the instructor during the oral examination. Students can take the oral exam after a successful written exam. | |
| Inclusion of mid-term results | ||
| Obligation: | mandatory (partial) exam unit, failing the unit results in fail (1) exam result | |
| Description: | The result of the mid-year task is included in the exam ticket. Elaboration of the task and its presentation in the form of a presentation is a prerequisite for admission to the exam. The elaboration of the mid-year task and its presentation in the form of a presentation is a precondition for being eligible for the exam, so it is one of the preconditions for a successful exam. Beyond these, there is no other way to credit the mid-year assignment result to an exam ticket. | |
