- Teaching methods
- Primary teaching methods used are lectures and seminars. Situational, discussion and staging teaching methods are used within the framework of seminars, which should link cognitive learning with social learning. Imitation mechanism is used in presentations of seminar projects of students teams too. Lectures are given in English and seminars in Czech or English, student can choose the language of the seminar. Similarly, students can choose the language of the test (English/Czech). Basic literature is available in both English and Czech. Those who wish to have this course recognized as fulfilling the requirement to take a course in English may enroll in BPH_AMA1. The course content is identical, but in BPH_AMA1 the seminars are conducted in English and the test is available only in English. The core literature remains in both Czech and English.
- Assessment methods
- Final written test (closed answers), team projects and their defence.
The final evaluation of the course is given by the weighted average of the values from the seminar works (weight 0.5), and from the final test (weight 0.5).
The minimal score to get in final evaluation needed to pass the course is 60%.
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.
If the student enrols in the course at the time of his/her trip abroad, the same conditions apply, i.e. he/she must prepare a project, but individually, and then take an exam. It is advisable to contact the teacher at the beginning of the semester to agree on the project topic, study materials and completion process. - Language of instruction
