Students who – due to any reason – did not attend any of the online seminars via MS Teams, must substitute it.

For substitution, a student has (1) to write an essay on an assigned topic and (2) to take the test from the missing seminar. For substitution of the demonstration, an essay is needed only.

In order to arrange the substitution, the student has to send an e-mail to Dr Tibor Stračina (stracina@med.muni.cz) – the topic of an essay and the term of the substitution test will be given.

In case of more than two absences, the student will also be orally examined at the end of the semester – the topics will be individually determined in advance.

All absences must be substituted no later than June 11, 2021, at 15:00.

The Essay

An essay should be type-written, minimally 6 500 characters (incl. spaces) long, may include 1-2 figures (if necessary). If you use direct citations, please, specify the source (reference). The IS MUNI actively search for plagiarism!

Upload the essay as .doc, .docx or .pdf file into the homework vault "Substitution - Essay" below. The vault will be opened until  June 11, 2021, 15:00.
