The discussion will also focus on ways to monitor the students’ progress in the learning process and to assess the students’ achievement of the assumed learning outcomes. Moreover, the discussion will cover the national requirements for accredited courses regarding the improvement of the quality of education and the development of a quality culture at Polish and Lithuanian universities. At the same time, on the second day, a study visit to the Faculty of Management in Vilnius is planned, during which the employees will have the opportunity to learn about the teaching methods used in VGTU.
