Practical and Generic Skills:

After successfully mastering the course, students will be able to:

1. publicly and coherently present learning outcomes;

2. on the cognitive level students acquire general and special knowledge and ability to identify and define different categories of public services, types and forms of their performance and to analyse the regulation of public services in the European Union and legal regulation, organisation, performance, financing and protection of the rights of users of public services in Croatia

Matching Assessments to Learning Outcomes:

Knowledge is tested by written paper and oral examinations.

1. Written paper

The paper is a form of encouraging student's engagement in teaching. Students who regularly attend classes have the possibility to prepare and present a paper on individual public services. In that manner, a smaller scope of teaching contents is tested in oral examination in case of a positively graded paper.

 

2. Oral examination

Oral examination consists of reproduction of acquired knowledge, its understanding andf application to the analysis of public services (SGI) in the EU and Croatia, and a critical evaluation of the current condition in public services and forming proposals for the improvement of certain activities of public services. Students are expected to argument their opinions about certain topics (learning outcomes A.a to A.d).
