An inseparable part of the exercise is the written explication, which must be submitted with the AV recorded exercise. In the written explication the student must demonstrate, along with creative talent, the ability for a rational view of professional issues, and is able to master the task not only practically but is able to systematically describe, analyse and understand the fundaments of the given issue and take away theory lessons from the experience.
