Výukové metody
The course is taught as lectures, supported by slides, and seminars. Students are encouraged to actively participate in the seminars by posing questions of clarification or bringing up problems for discussion. Students are expected to read the required reading(s) for each seminar that serve to broaden and deepen the spectrum of knowledge students acquire during lectures. Short presentations about particular crisis management operations serve to improve the ability of students to work with and present data on a given topic and to improve presentation skills.
