Course objectives
The course is an active guided recapitulation of knowledge and skills acquired in other subjects of the relevant semester in the field of mathematics for teacher training. The course is intended primarily for second-year students. The aim of the course is to help the graduates of this course to lead their own similar support courses for their classmates or students of lower grades.
Learning outcomes
The student will be able to: - talk clearly about the topics of university mathematics,
- clearly present their knowledge and skills to classmates, ask questions appropriately and assess the quality of the answers provided, - identify their learning strengths and difficulties, - work effectively with classmates in order to increase their learning competencies
Syllabus
  • Students actively seek for topics that they want to address in a given week. The course syllabus copies the syllabus of mathematics subjects belonging to the relevant and last semester.

Teaching methods
Guided discussion and guided group work.
Assessment methods
Credit will be awarded on the basis of measured active participation, which will monitor several parameters. We will have several types of activities, students will be individually evaluated within their capabilities. The following types of activities need to be completed during the semester. Presentation (current topic from the previous week) Answer (for example, to the presenter's questions) Cooperation (on anything, even an active effort to understand something, accompanied by a presenter) Resistance (active emphasis on the futility of the topic and the desire for its general non-existence) Defense (active defense of the usefulness of the topic in the fight against opponents) Participation (active participation in the discussion without significant contribution or role) In case of non-fulfillment of these activities during the semester, the student will replace the unfulfilled activities by elaborating a short seminar work on a specific professional topic at an appropriate level with emphasis on the comprehensibility of the text.

Teacher's information
The purpose of the course is to provoke a spontaneous and lively discussion on topics that are currently being discussed in mathematics, causing the fixation of the subject. The discussion will take place at the level at which the students wish, from absolutely basic, when we can deal with things that someone did not understand, to a higher level, when we can try to put the subject in a broader context. The unofficial goal is to try to look at the topics discussed impersonally and evaluate their benefits and uselessness. The teacher makes sure that the students do not provide each other with meaningless or erroneous information, and also that they communicate effectively and intelligibly. The most hidden goal of the course is to motivate students to a future comprehensive observation of students and their expression, which they try on each other. Together, you will consider whether the loudest, funniest or most prepared student is the only one with whom it makes sense to work. Whether the bravest one who gives the wrong answers should be condemned and lost, and whether the one who is silent really does not know. For this reason, students will be derailed several times from their own nature, and extroverts will remain silent while introverts speak. For example, students will try to hold conflicting views on the benefits of specific mathematical concepts, defend those that are not popular with the student, and defeat those that the student finds useful and interesting.
The course is also listed under the following terms Autumn 2022, Autumn 2023.
