Výukové metody
The course is taught in lectures only, which include class discussions and require active participation. Essays improve the ability of students to summarize a certain issue in the field of transformation of the financial system and discuss it critically. Readings serve to broaden and deepen the spectrum of knowledge students acquire during the lectures.
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.The course is taught in lectures only, which include class discussions and require active participation.
