Výukové metody

Students will draw information from the required readings they must familiarize themselves with before each seminar; as well as from lectures that will be part of each class. The lecture and subsequent seminar with class discussion will assume knowledge of assigned literature but will provide alternate perspectives and additional information not included in the compulsory literature. Attendance is expected and each student should not miss more than two classes.

Metody hodnocení

There will be two tests written in the MU Information System in the middle and at the end of the term. These will be multiple-choice tests, with 10 questions each, worth one point. Students can get a total of 20 points for these tests (10 for each). Subsequently, at the end of the term, there will be a written examination, likewise held online in the MU Information System, in which students can gain up to 20 points. If a student fails to meet the threshold of 25 points in total to pass the course, they will have to pass an oral examination with the lecturer.
