    Self-assessment

    The assessment is based on the progress of a student towards mastering German Areal studies, rather than on a tested level of linguistic competence (German language).

    The self-assessment of one's own learning does not influence the module grade. The self-assessment and students’ feedback to the module will be used for the module development. The feedback is collected in an electronic form.
