Teaching methods
Regular seminars are held weekly or combined, as needed, into smaller blocks. The individual themes are presented by experts from RECETOX Center and other relevant institutions. Each theme is not only presented and explained, but also the latest areas of research are introduced and possible solutions to problems are discussed. Students will prepare a separate seminar work on selected topics. Participation of students in the seminars is not passive, they are actively involved in surveys, queries, work in groups, etc. Students prepare themselves individually in advance according to given materials and instructions. At the end of the course, a comprehensive panel discussion will take place.
Assessment methods
The work and activity of students is monitored and evaluated throughout the semester. The condition of attending the course is to attend at least 80% of the seminars. Participation must be active (student responds to lecture topics, gives questions, is not "absent-minded" ...). The condition is also the submission of the given seminar work. At the final seminar, a colloquium will be held with a summary panel discussion.
