Výukové metody
The course is taught in lectures only, which include class discussions and require active participation. After-class assignments improve the ability of students to understand discussed issues. Readings serve to broaden and deepen the spectrum of knowledge students acquire during the lectures.
The exact requirements for completing the course also apply to students studying abroad (e.g. Erasmus) with an individual study plan, except for the compulsory attendance (alternative assignment is provided instead). More information on the alternative assignment is given in the interactive syllabus of the course. Students are required to contact the guarantor in the first teaching week of the semester and arrange the deadlines for fulfilling the assignment.
Note: “Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding a grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination."
Metody hodnocení
The colloquium is granted, if a student submits at least 70% of weekly assignments provided in the Interactive Syllabus. This colloquium format of assignments is designed to deepen students' understanding of financial wellness concepts while helping them develop practical skills and strategies they can apply in their personal lives. It also provides a platform for sharing insights and learning from peers, fostering a community of financial wellbeing.
