Knowledge
KW03, KW01, KW02, KU01, KK01, KK02, KK03
1. Student gets familiarized with basic demographic structures (among others, with respect of age and sex in various populations and various moments in history), processes (marriage, fertility, mortality, migrations, ageing), relations between them, and also with values of their measures from historical perspective. He knows their economic, social, and cultural consequences
2. Student knows fundamental theoretical approaches in demography. He has a deepen knowledge of the paradigm of the contemporary demography, i.e. the demographic transition theory (S1A_W09).
3. Student knows the assumptions, claims, consequences, interpretations and critique of selected demographic theories and concepts (population theories in particular), and the assumptions, goals, and instruments of population policy (S1A_W07, S1A_W09).
4. Student gets familiarized with stages of a research study, concepts of conceptualization and operationalization, differences between research question and research hypothesis, and with rules of preparing an academic paper and oral presentation (S1A_W01, S1A_W10).
5. Student knows demographic databases (GUS and Eurostat in particular), construction of measures of demographic processes and life tables, and graphical presentation of demographic phenomena (Lexis diagram) (S1A_W06).
6. In the process of editing the research paper, student obtains extended knowledge of a specific area of study related to the chosen research topic (S1A_W03, S1A_W08).

1. During his work in the classes, student develops the ability to form a research problem, its conceptualization, and operationalization, to present the goal of the research, research question and research hypothesis. Student can construct bibliography, and employ proper references, prepare data to be presented in a table and in a figure, make tables and figures along with their proper description, and above all he organizes his work along the stages of the research study and he plans, evaluates, and corrects the structure of the academic paper (S1A_U05, S1A_U09).
2. Student can write an academic paper that outlines research problem, its analysis and solution (S1A_U03, S1A_U07, S1A_U08, S1A_U09).
3. Student can participate in a debate, form oral statements, and present results of a study in a synthetic form (S1A_U09, S1A_U10).
4. Student can search and evaluate the usefulness of the literature and data sources, which he uses to calculate measures of demographic processes (indexes of births, deaths in cross-sectional, longitudinal, and cross-section-longitudinal approach, natural and real population growth, probability of death, life expectancy) (S1A_U02, S1A_U09).
5. Student interprets the above measures and values from life tables, checks whether they were computed correctly, and he interprets data illustrating demographic phenomena presented in the form of various tables and figures (S1A_U01, S1A_U08).
6. Student can analyze the text, he identifies its most important elements and he evaluates them critically. A student synthesizes the analyzed texts and information presented in the data sources and formulates conclusions from the research (S1A_U09, S1A_U07, S1A_U08).
Social competences
S1A_K01, S1A_K02, S1A_K03, S1A_K06
1. A student appreciates the value of solid and systematic work (S1A_K03).
2. A student develops the approach to problematize social reality and the need to selfeducation (S1A_K01, S1A_K06).
3. A student develops the culture of oral and written statements (S1A_K02).
4. A student values private and social returns to teamwork (S1A_K02).
