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.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
To complete the course, every student is required to prepare one PowerPoint presentation in the maximum length of 15 minutes, be active in class discussions and pass the final exam. Presentations have to be prepared primarily out of articles available in the Study Materials folder in the Information System (“Presentations – basic articles”). All presentations have to be submitted in the Study Materials folder (“Submitted student work”) not later than December 3rd. The final exam is composed of lectures, students’ presentations and required reading. Great emphasis is put on the reading. It will often be referred to the required literature during lectures; you may therefore wish to bring your readings to class so you can follow along. Participation in discussions and small tasks during classes based on the reading will also be involved in the overall evaluation.
