Teaching methods
The professional practice is organised in such a way that the student chooses an organisation that matches his/her preferences and agrees on a supervisor. If the organisation of the internship requires a contractual relationship, the student negotiates an individual contract with the organisation in accordance with the Civil Code, without the contractual participation of FSS MUNI. The organisation of the student's work placement (e.g. its content) is a matter of agreement between the student and the supervisor. The professional practice can also be carried out within the framework of the current employment, at the current job position. Supervisions take place in person and/or remotely according to the schedule of topics in the MUNI IS. Distance via Zoom, face-to-face at the FSS. Dates of supervision are listed in IS MUNI in the Interactive Curriculum application or by agreement with the supervisor. The length of supervision is 50 minutes for 1 supervisee/m; 75 minutes for 2 supervisees; 100 minutes for 3 supervisees.

For successful completion of the course, it is required (a) to complete one supervision; (b) to submit the Record of Completed Supervision to the MUNI IS Submission Room with the completion within 21 days of the supervision using the form posted in the MUNI IS with a grade of "passed" in the comment block; (c) submitting a scan of the Professional Practice Report to the MUNI IS Submission Room, ideally by the last teaching day of the semester, using the form posted in the MUNI IS with a grade of "passed" in the comment block.
