- Teaching methods
- Students are required to register in one of the offered seminar groups according to the selected supervisor. Individual consultations with the supervisor are a matter of mutual agreement. All students have to follow the instructions of their supervisors regarding the time and content of the consultations, as well as specific tasks assigned by the supervisor.
Apart from attending individual consultations, students are required to submit three compulsory preliminary assignments as described above in the supplementary electronic course in the ELF. All submissions must be on time as specified by the instructions. Submissions are monitored centrally, but the content is checked and discussed by the supervisors individually. Each submission should also be discussed with the supervisor. - Assessment methods
- Discussion with the supervisors, readings, individual supervisor assigments, and research proposal completion and submission.
It is COMPULSORY to complete and submit all three preliminary assignments electronically on the due dates, regardless of the supervisor's further requirements and instructions. - Language of instruction
- Czech
- Further Comments
- The course is taught each semester.
