Assessment of the presentation:
- 5 (very good) - the student has complied with the requirements of the presentation, prepared, presented and discussed their own photos / videos. The student drew his own conclusions based on primate observations. The student used many sources, including articles (also in English), as well as information available on the Internet.
- 4 (db.) - the student has sufficiently complied with the requirements of the presentation, presented their own photos / videos. The student has sufficiently drawn his own conclusions based on primate observations. The student used several sources, including articles (also in English), as well as information available on the Internet.
- 3 (dst.) - the student has basic compliance with the requirements of the presentation, presented their own photos / videos. The student basically drew his own conclusions based on primate observations. The student at a basic level used sources, including articles, as well as information available on the Internet.
- 2 (ndst.) - the student did not comply with the requirements of the presentation, did not submit photos / videos from the observation. The student did not draw his own conclusions based on primate observations. The student did not use additional sources, including articles and the Internet.
