Teaching methods
lectures; team projects; reading; discussion. The most of the seminars are organized as a block of workshops.
Assessment methods
Final grade consists:
from final exam;
from seminar work;
Before taking the exam, students have to earn certain amount of points (more information in study materials).
The exam has a form of a test.
Information for Erasmus outgoing students:
The best way is to study the same or a similar course at a foreign school, the completion of which will be recognised as equivalent after your return. Before departure (before completing the learning agreement) you need to send the course garantor information about the course (or several alternative courses) you propose as an equivalent - ideally e.g. a website with a description of the course, including the title, content, number of credits, evaluation format, etc. If such information is not on the website, the Erasmus coordinators of the foreign school or the teachers there can certainly provide it. An alternative is to study the course in a distance form: the study load associated with the seminar classes, which you will not attend, will be compensated by a seminar paper. The format of the exam itself remains the same.
Language of instruction

Teacher's information
Any copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the subject and as a serious breach of study regulations. As a consequence, the teacher grades the student with "F" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.
