Metody hodnocení
The final grade is based on lecture participation (10%), presentation at the class (40%) and exam performance (50%). Students are encouraged to participate in every lecture (student may excuse only in the emergency case via email before the lecture). For the presentation every student shall select a paper from the list of suggested literature (papers are placed in 'Learning Materials' folder) and deliver a presentation during class. Student shall send slides 24 hours before the presentation (at the latest) to Martin Guzi for the review. Presentation should take approx.10 minutes and explain the main findings of the selected paper. Students are welcome to support findings with an experience from their country of origin. In the very last slide of presentation, students shall formulate two questions with the list of four possible answers. To receive full points from presentation student shall clearly formulate the research question explored in the paper and explain the main findings to other students. The quality (and difficulty) of two test questions prepared by student is also evaluated. Final exam is organized in the last week of semester on May 12, 2014 and will take approximately one hour. The only way to pass the exam is to attend the class on exam date. The exam will include multiple choice questions from topics covered during semester. About 30% of questions in the test will be adopted from students' presentations. Cheating will not be tolerated and student will be ordered to leave the exam room on any sign of cheating with zero points awarded from exam.
