Teaching methods
Students are encouraged to debate. They are supported equally in an individual or in the collective activity. Students can perform their ideas via various papers or exposes. It should form a path, as it is believed, towards self-creativity enabling to ground better one’s own position. The continuous feed-back helps to correct the semester handout of the subject.
Assessment methods
The exam is based on the preliminarily declared handout that has been perfectly learnt by a student, who is now able to apply this material on practice. What especially is considered here is the style of the student’s work including his individual preparation. The semester handout (syllabus) is continuously discussed with students during the lessons and at the consulting hours of the teacher.
Language of instruction
Czech
