The aim of studying and bibliography

The main aim of study: Acquiring knowledge, deepening it and systematizing it in terms of technical and technological aspects of environmental protection, which will allow for understanding the mechanisms of environmental protection and renewal of its degraded elements.

The general information about the module: The module is a theoretical overview of technical and technological issues related to the protection of individual elements of the natural environment (atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere) and the renewal of its degraded elements. It also includes an overview of the basic legal acts concerning environmental protection, environmental management systems and the procedure of environmental impact assessment.

The way of giving the component module grades and the final grade

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture Written credit (OW). Presentation and practical study in the field of environmental engineering (OP). The ranges of points corresponding to the individual grades: 3.0 (50 - 60%), 3.5 (61 - 70%), 4.0 (71 - 80%), 4.5 (81 - 90%), 5.0 (91 - 100%).
The final grade The final grade for the subject (OK) is calculated according to the following formula: (OK) = 0.6w (OW) + 0.4w (OP); w - coefficient taking into account the completion date, w = 1 (first term), w = 0.9 (second term), w = 0.8 (third term); based on WKZJK.
