Výukové metody
Students will be required to prepare and submit five short position papers in which they contemplate primarily, but not exclusively, on assigned literature. Active participation of students will be expected in the seminars (classes associated with the position papers). The mid-term exam will test whether students acquired the required factual basis in the first part of the course. The final exam will consist of short analytical questions, which will test students’ ability to use discussed analytical approaches. Knowledge of facts will not be a primary consideration in the final exam, rather the ability to apply the theories in practice.
