Výukové metody
Teaching methods consist of lectures, class discussions and presentations of position papers.
Metody hodnocení
1. Students are expected to read the required reading(s) for each seminar. If there are two or three required readings rather than one, students are expected to read all of them.
2. Students are encouraged to actively participate in the seminars by posing questions of clarification or bringing up problems for discussion.
3. Students may write short position papers (300-600 words each) on different seminar topics. The papers should include a summary of the main points of the required reading(s), a critique of these readings, questions of clarification, and possible questions for discussion. To enable the organization of the in-class discussion, papers must have three clearly identified sections:
1) a summary section entitled “Summary”;
2) a critique section entitled “Critique”;
3) a section containing questions for discussion entitled “Questions”.
Papers that do not have this structure and contain different points scattered throughout the text will be rejected and will not count towards the student’s grade.
The position papers should be inserted into the folder "Submitted student work" in Information System. The papers should be submitted no later than 1 p. m. of the day before the seminar for which the paper is written. The personal presentation of papers in seminar is necessary.
4. At the end of the semester students should submit a 10-page long final paper on a topic relevant to the course.
5. There will be a final in-class written exam, consisting of four questions based on the required readings and the discussions in class.
Grading
The final grade will be calculated as a composite evaluation consisting of three parts:
1) evaluation on the position papers
2) evaluation on the final paper
3) evaluation on the final exam
Students will be awarded max. 3 points for the submission of each position paper of acceptable quality, in compliance with the required structure of position papers, and in the specified deadline. Late submissions and submission of papers that do not meet the minimal requirements of quality and structure are not acceptable. Students will be awarded 18 points for the submission of a final paper of acceptable quality.
Each final-exam question gets between 0 and 6 points (max. 24 points overall for the final exam).
The grade will be calculated on the basis of the number of points collected. In order to complete the course, students must collect at least 36 points (60% of the max. points for all parts, i.e. 60 points).
Evaluation:
56-60: A
51-55: B
46-50: C
41-45: D
36-40: E
0-35: F
