Students must have knowledge of management, marketing, principles of teamwork, team learning and team feedback, and idea development using lean canvas.

Grading and completion rules
To obtain credit, students must complete assignments related to their projects. Assignments are completed during workshops as part of the course. A total of three assignments are completed. Each assignment is graded on a scale of 0 to 10 points. To obtain credit, students must earn at least 15 points. The following are evaluated: activity, teamwork, ability to interpret and present results, accuracy of work, use of assigned approaches and resources, and form of work. The points earned are included in the final exam evaluation for individual assignments in the practical part. Obtaining credit is a prerequisite for admission to the exam.
Exam
The exam takes the form of a team workshop. The exam consists of a practical exam – up to 60 points – and a theoretical knowledge exam – up to 40 points.
Practical part of the exam
Students are divided into teams for the exam. The practical exam involves the gradual completion of four tasks. During the completion and possible presentation and defense, students must demonstrate both practical skills and the ability to work with the assigned tools and their knowledge. Each task is evaluated separately on a scale of 0 to 15 points. The team is evaluated as a whole and has the opportunity to comment on the performance of individual members.
Theoretical part of the exam
Each student receives two theoretical questions. Each question is graded on a scale of 0 to 20 points. This part of the exam is oral. The exam focuses on knowledge of the topics presented in the lectures.

Exam procedure
• The exam lasts 5 hours. There are at least two breaks during the exam.
• Only permitted materials and aids may be used during the exam.
• It is advisable to have a laptop or tablet, or a smartphone, available for the exam.

The final grade is determined by the sum of the points for both parts of the exam and the points from the exercises. The final grade is given on the ECTS scale. Students can use the points earned in the exercises to improve their grades for individual tasks.

Attendance at exercises, workshops, and lectures is mandatory, monitored, and included in the final assessment. Each absence results in a deduction of 2 points from the final assessment. Students may miss a maximum of three activities per semester, including any activities taking place during the exam period. These three absences can be compensated for by additional projects and assignments set by the teacher. Additional assignments must be completed no later than during the credit week.

ABSENCES EXCEEDING 3 TEAM EXERCISES/ACTIVITIES mean FAILURE to complete the course.

Retake exam dates are governed by the study and examination regulations.
Students with an ISP will agree on a written project replacing the 3 sub-tasks as part of the ISP approval process and will take an exam.
