Cíle předmětu

This course has a predominantly application character and it is designed mainly for foreign students. The content of the course is formed by three interconnected blocks and introduces students to the process of the Czech Republic’s public sector transformation. In the first block, the range of transformation in the Czech Republic will be introduced to the students and the transformation process will be characterized on the level of the central government. The second block describes the process of fiscal decentralization, and in the third block, students will get more familiar with the transformation of selected public sector segments. At the end of the course students should be able to understand the historical context of the reform and should have the ability to explain and interpret all its particular steps and their influence on the current situation (and issues) of the public sector.

Výukové metody

Lectures are supported by lecturer's presentations, class discussions, presentations of seminar works given by students, additional reading for self-study and self-correcting tests.

Metody hodnocení

Students are expected to prepare continuously for lectures.
Students have to prepare by studying appropriate materials and by answering supporting questions. This preparation will be assessed by a lecturer who may assign a certain number of points. In every lecture, the lecturer could award students with 20 – 50 points for their preparation (number of points should be specified at the beginning of every semester and depends on a number of enrolled students). The number of points given to each student will be written down after every lecture in the “Notebook” in the IS MU system, so every student has an immediate feedback about his/her performance.
Students also have the possibility to get another 20 points for the paper elaboration (up to ten points for a paper presentation and ten points for a handed paper).
Examination test and final assessment: The basic condition for getting a grade (A-E) from the course is to gain at least 50 points from previous assessments (preparations for lecturers and papers) and from a written exam, which takes place in the 13th week. The written exam consists of two parts. In the first one – a test – students can obtain up to 40 points, while in the second part – an essay on a selected topic – they can obtain up to 20 points. All the points will be counted up for the final grade and the assessment will depend on the scale of assessment points.
Grading scheme:
Number of points and corresponding grades:
A - More than 61 points
B - 56-60 points
C - 51-55 points
D - 46-50 points
E - 40-45 points
F - Less than 40 points
Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination. The mentioned procedure relates to all the activities that are included in the final evaluation of the course (seminar work, essays, tests etc.).
