Teaching methods
The course is taught in the form of seminars.
Assessment methods
The course is concluded by a written and oral exam which fully covers the contents of all four terms of the language training programme, including the preparatory courses Language II/A and Language II/B. Students may only sit the exam if they fulfil the following conditions:
- 80% attendance
- doing homework regularly
- seminar work
- 60% of points in the written exam are required for the admission to the oral part.
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 can complete the course by awarding grade "FFF" in the Information System, and the Dean can initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination. Students going on Erasmus should contact the teacher by email for information on how to complete the course.
