Teaching methods

Individual consultations.

Assessment methods

Credits are awarded for an oral presentation (not a poster) at a international conference, which needs to be evidenced by submitting the text of the paper (or the ppt) and a confirmation of attendance of the conference. In case of a multiple authorship, the student must be the first author. In the case of co-authoring a paper with two authors as the second author, the performance is evaluated as a 50% fulfilment of the given requirement (i.e. the student must deliver two papers, or three papers when co-authoring a paper with three authors). The student must prove their attendance of the conference by submitting the conference program or a written confirmation of attendance and the text of the paper. Presentations at the conference can only be made in person, not online.

Language of instruction

Czech
