Teacher's information
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 grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination. 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. Students with an individual study plan may prepare a written assignment of 12-15 standard pages of text instead of attending seminars. In the assignment, the student will apply knowledge from the literature on three topics in the field of human resource management in practice and describe his/her experience from this application. The possibility of taking the course as part of an individual study plan must be consulted with the course guarantor before the beginning of the teaching part of the semester. The student will be given an assignment in the first 14 days of the course and will submit the assignment no later than one week before the end of the teaching part of the semester.
The course is also listed under the following terms Spring 2024, Spring 2025.
