Teaching methods

Lectures and discussion, managerial game carried out in seminars.

Assessment methods

The course finishes with a written test. Assessment of student’s performance in the managerial game carried out in seminars is also a part of the overall classification. 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.
Information for students going on a study stay abroad:
The Management course is designed as a standard basic management course (in terms of content), and you will almost certainly find a similar course in the offer of the vast majority of partner universities. The primary choice should be to complete such a subject at the host university. Upon your return, we will recognize its completion as equivalent to the management course. Before your departure (before filling out the learning agreement), you must send the course guarantor information about the chosen subject (or several alternative subjects) that you propose as an equivalent (title, content, number of credits, possibly also the method of completing the subject, etc.). If such information is not on the website, the Erasmus coordinators of the host universtiy (or possibly the teacherof teh subject) will likely provide it to you.
Only in cases where such a subject(s) is not offered in a given semester at at the host university, Management can be completed by meands of distance learning. In such a case, the student contacts the guarantor of the subject, who will provide information on the conditions for completing the subject.
