Teaching methods
There are two lectures (each four hours) given during semester. Lectures are focused on explanation of the main topics of public finance. Self-study is emphasised then. Students have an opportunity to evaluate their knowledge in self-correcting on-line tests.
Assessment methods
The course is concluded with an oral exam. Students are eligible to take the oral exam provided that they fulfill given conditions:
1. they hand in a seminar paper in a given extent and structure within the obligatory date,
2. they pass an (on-line) test in the IS MU successfully during an obligatory period (a test is regarded as successful if at least 60% of answers are correct).
Detailed information concerning the seminar work and the on-line test is available in interactive syllabi of the course in the IS MU.
Important information!
Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
