ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 0 OR 1.50 (depends on study program) 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.

Full description:

Spinning and weaving tools are discussed, known from sites dated to the Stone Age till modern times. Presented are mainly 'excavation textiles', but also other kinds of non-woven items and their imprints on sample surfaces. Preliminary examinations and measurements of textiles and samples with imprints collected during former and present excavations are a part of the course.
