Výukové metody
The course takes the form of both lectures and seminars. During lectures, selected issues of public finance are explained. The topic might be further developed during seminars. Students might be expected to present their seminar work.
Metody hodnocení
The course is concluded with an oral exam. The oral exam, however, might be omitted. Based on a continuous evaluation during the whole term, students acquire points: two written tests (each counts for 40 points) and elaboration (and presentation) of group seminar work (up to 20 points). The teacher can award students with “bonus” points if they are active during seminars. The maximum number of points is not set. For the final grade, all the points will be counted up, and the assessment will depend on the scale of assessment points.
Classification scheme:
Grade and Point numbers (roughly)
A (80 and more)
B (75 - 80)
C (70 - 75)
D (65 - 70)
E (60 - 65)
F with the possibility of correction (55 - 60)
F without the possibility of correction (0 - 55)
The current “Classification scheme” may slightly vary from the one described above. If students do not gain the required minimum of points (55 points), the teacher regards it as the absence of their continuous preparation. It means that students can re-take neither “failed” tests nor seminar work. In this case, a student is graded with an "-".
Requirements (including the literature) are specified further in the interactive syllabus and the downloadable study plan before the semester starts.
