The study course is held in a form of practical seminars. The course aims are: to provide practical skills in exegesis of NT original texts. The tasks of the study course are systematic overview and application of the traditional methods of exegesis – criticism of a text, grammatical and syntactic analysis, literary criticism, criticism of forms, editorial criticism, implicite analyses of a text etc. The tasks of the course are: - sequential performance of full exegetical analysis of pericops, depending on the form, type and specifics of the text. - to develop critical thinking in the field of text analysis, to help students in implementing independent and correct exegetical research of ancient texts. Seminars include analytical work with the original text of Novum Testamentum Graece (ed. XXVII and ed. XXVIII: Stuttgart, 2017) and its Critical Apparatus, as well as with supporting literature units (Language "keys", concordances, theological dictionaries, commentaries, grammars, etc

Thus the aesthetics of documentary cinema is treated as a historical process. Such approach enables the students to link theory with practice, to study its interaction and master basic principles of writing a documentary film

The aim of the study course is to acquire knowledge about the main classes of naturally occurring organic substances, classification, structure, properties and synthesis of their compounds and analogues, paying particular attention to the extraction of plant biologically active substances and computer modelling of medicinal substances. The tasks of the study course: - to expand and deepen knowledge about the main classes of natural substances; - to master strategies and tactics used in the synthesis of natural substances and their analogues; - to model medicinal substances whose design is compatible with the structure of proteins; - to improve the project work skills by summarising the scientific literature on the methods of extracting biologically active substances of certain plants and presenting them. Students attend lectures, participate in seminars and practical work, prepare group work and reports, as well as perform computer modelling of biologically active substances

The aim of the course is to present students with key pharmaceutical chemical techniques and basic theoretical issues (sources of pharmaceutical substances and their chemical structure, stability, methods of inventing, obtaining, synthesis and analysis of new medicines and the relationship of chemical structure to pharmacological effects) and their applications in pharmaceutical practices. Course Tasks: 1. to acquire practical skills in methods of obtaining, identifying and quality control of medicinal products (methods for the identification and detection of active substances in compound formulations and for the extraction and purification of active substances); 2. to get acquainted themselves with the engineering and safety regulations of the Pharmaceutical Chemical Laboratory, in particular in the handling of gas burners, centrifuges, etc.; 3. to learn the calculation methods to be used in pharmaceutical chemistry and the use of computers in their performance, and to undertake

The goal of the course is to develop a skillset necessary to analyze and solve various problems in computer science, economics and other disciplines related to any kind of conflicts of interest. The objectives include: to outline the main ideas of game theory, emphasizing the theory's foundations and interpretations of its key concepts; to provide precise definitions and proofs of all results; to introduce methods and algorithms for solving games; to demonstrate how game theory methods can be used to solve practical problems in everyday life. Upon successful completion of this course, students will know the classification of games; master the basic principles of solving games; apply this knowledge to solve practical problems, including the analysis of economic systems; have a definite idea of rational behavior and of the formation of strategies in various situations. The course is held in English, with personal communication and possibility to do homeworks in English, Latvian

Objective of the course: to provide in-depth academic knowledge and practical skills in the management of IT projects. Course Tasks: 1. Raise students' awareness of the methods and tools for managing IT projects. 2. Develop capacity to analyze different aspects of IT project management and to provide qualified recommendations. 3. Encourage the use of the gained academic knowledge in real projects. The course reinforces the basic knowledge of project management as part of the bachelor's programme, complementing it with a range of modern project management approaches, tools and techniques. Training is based on the project management standard developed by PMI (http://www.pmi.org), compiled in Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK). Learning a course includes in-person lectures during which the teacher provides theoretical knowledge. The practical part of the course focuses on discussions on topics of current project management theory and specific types of projects

Biogeography is an interdisciplinary science that studies the distribution of species, ecosystems, and biodiversity in geographic space and through geological time The aim of the study course is to provide students with the opportunity to familiarise themselves, understand and study biodiversity and the relationships between spatial and temporal distribution of biota determined by historical, geographic, environmental, biotic and anthropogenic factors.
