ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	2.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits

Short description:	Marks: from 2 (failure) over 3 (passing grade), 4 (well) to 5 (very well) accordingly to a standart (quality) of a lecture.
Full description:	Themes: Topic I Were dinosaurs cold or warm-blooded? Topic II Extinctions: number, rates and causes. Topic III How changes in seawater chemistry influenced skeletons of marine organisms. Participant (a female or a male student) gives a lecture based on her or his knowledge gathered from scientific publication(s) and/or from chapter(s) of scientific books (see: Literature). Later on, the audience discusses content of a lecture.
