Teaching methods

lectures, during the seminars - solving of problems related to expected return and risk counting of assets, portfolio selection under different conditions, equilibrium pricing models

Assessment methods

Kind of study: 2/2 (lectures/seminars)
Examination: Written test and oral exam
1. Control test I and Control test II in seminars will be written by students following the schedule (if student can not participate in one of two tests (not two of two) he or she can apologize (but only teacher will decide if the apology is authorized. There can be one control test more in the beginning of exam period (there can be everything for whole year, which was taught). Classification will be the same as before.
2. Final classification of seminars (requirement for successful graduation of this subject is successful first and second control and 70% attendance in seminars, control test is successful when students achieve minimaly 60%.
3. Final exam and final classification (final exam consists of two parts- written- there is control test I and control test II, and oral exam)
Each test consists of three problems of different difficulty.
Final mark consists of:
Classification of control test I (25%) + classification of control test II (25%) + oral exam (50%)
Then final classification is following:
A= 92 – 100 %
B= 84 – 91 %
C= 76 – 83 %
D= 68 – 75 %
E= 60 – 67 %
F= less than 60 %

If student will cheat or copy or plagiarize, or sth else what is forbidden, teacher would interupt an exam or test and the student final classification will be following F, or FF, or FFF. Or there can be disciplinary proceedings.
