Detailed requirements for completion of the course are given in the interactive syllabus.

Any plagiarism in assignments during the semester, and copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the course and as a serious breach of study regulations. As a consequence, the teacher grades the student with "F" or "N" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.

Human Resource Management is a standard course with content taught at most foreign business schools and economic faculties. In the case of an internship abroad, the MPH_RLIZ course cannot be completed remotely without attendance at seminars, but students will be recognized for a course with the same or similar content taken at a host university. In case a course called Human Resources Management is not taught at the partner university, it is possible to find similar content typically in Organizational Behavior or Personnel Management courses. The content proximity of the courses can be consulted in advance with the course guarantor.
