Course design

Although this course is still accredited in Czech, all the seminars will be in English because the tutors do not speak Czech. Therefore, all instructions are also in English.

The teaching part of the course is divided into two types of classes, which are 3 hours long. Except for the very first class, the logic of the classes is the follows:

• Before Friday's seminar, you will have to read and write to prepare; if you fail to do this and come to the seminar unprepared, it will be very difficult for you to participate in the activities.
• Friday's seminar will focus on deepening the knowledge you gain from self-studying. Ahad, Feybi or Radek will tutor the seminars. The seminars should prepare you for Monday's discussions with practitioners.
• Each Monday, you will meet one or more practitioners who are experts in the topic you studied in the previous week and deepen on Friday. During Monday's class, you will discuss the topic with them. You will have to prepare questions based on the content of the next week. If the experts cannot come, Michal will take their role.
• From Tuesday, you will start studying the new topic for Friday's seminar again.

As you can see, this course is built heavily on your participation. You will have to learn how to be an active learner because, with a passive approach, you will not learn much in this course. Also, this course will take much more time from you outside the class than in class. 8 ECTS awards this course, and the classes are equivalent to 2.5 ECTS. The rest needs to be gained by your work outside the classes. The estimation of the average time and effort you need to spend on the learning tasks is in the table. This means that the course will take you around 12 hours each week.

Learning task	Time effort (ECTS equivalent)
Seminars	12*3 = 36 hours (1.2 ECTS)
Discussions	12*3 = 36 hours (1.2 ECTS)
Preparation for seminars	12*6 = 72 hours (2.6 ECTS)
Team project	30 hours (1 ECTS)
Studying and testing	30 hours (1 ECTS)
Reflection	30 hours (1 ECTS)
Total	234 hours (8 ECTS)
