IV. Organization and evaluation of studies
a) Principles of courses’ organization
Mandatory courses consist of two parts: work with academic teacher during lectures, exercises and
laboratories, typically 16 hours, and student’s individual work.
b) Principles of evaluation
The modes of verification of assumed learning effects depend on type and length of the course.
Before laboratories the knowledge of PhD student regarding the subject is checked. After the laboratory he/she should present a report in which the skills of obtained results analysis, as well as conclusions formulation should be demonstrated. The quality of obtained result is a measure of the skill
of practical measurement realization. Exercises are conducted in an interactive form; after a presentation of schemes of problem solving by teacher, the PhD students individually solve tasks and
problems from given subject during classes and as individual work. Students’ skills are evaluated
during classes and written tests. Theoretical knowledge regarding respective course is evaluated
during oral or written exams.
The verification of the skill of individual problem solving and presenting them in a systematic written
form is realization of practical project and finally PhD thesis. The skill of presentation of problems
and research results within materials science is verified during seminars.
The skill of team work is verified during work on PhD project.
V. Choice, realization and monitoring of scientific project – PhD thesis
The research project is chosen by PhD student from the prepared by professors after contact with
prior future supervisor and approval by the Faculty Council.
The research project is conducted in the scientific group of the supervisor who makes it available to
use the laboratory proper set-ups (after training if necessary) and materials. Selected studies can
be performed in other scientific groups if necessary.
The realization of scientific Project is monitored continuously by the supervisor and once in semester during seminars.
VI. Evaluation of PhD studies effects
1) Supervisor prepares a personal timetable of scientific activity for PhD studies aimed at PhD
degree.
2) The verification of studies effects is performed annually by the supervisor and manager of
PhD studies.
3) PhD student reports his/her activities after each year of studies. The supervisor presents his
opinion regarding PhD student achievements to the manager of PhD studies after group seminar.
4) The manager of PhD studies takes into account also opinions of referees of scientific publications in which PhD student is an author or co-author.
5) Presentations at scientific conferences connected with realization of scientific project are also
taken into account.
4
6) Before opening a dissertation, PhD student should successfully present his/her results during
group seminar.
7) The final grade is also affected by the grade got for PhD thesis.
8) Mandatory courses are accepted by the result of the examination including assumed effects
of studies. The progress in realization of scientific project is accepted by the seminars.
