Teaching methods
The course is taught in the form of lectures (once in 14 days) and follow-up seminars (once a week). In the lectures are explained essential topics, which are further discussed in seminars. The primary tool is the ASPI legal system, in which students learn to navigate and use it to search for legal information. Part of the seminars is the solution of case studies with the help of the ASPI system, where the students first try to find a solution, then the procedure and result is explained by the teacher.
Assessment methods
The course is concluded with a written exam.
To take the final exam, the student is required to complete compulsory attendance (max. 3 absences per semester).
Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorised 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 grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination. The mentioned procedure relates to all the activities that are included in the final evaluation of the course.
