Tuition has a form of lectures, seminars and self-study. Participation in seminars is obligatory.
Assessment methods
Students will be graded on attendance, class participation, peer reviews and a final colloquium which includes discussion and evaluation of a team project. 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.

Teacher's information
This course is not offered to exchange students.

Information for students going on a study stay abroad:
The primary strategy should be to complete similar subject at the host university. Upon your return, we will recognize its completion as equivalent to the management course. Before your departure (before filling out the learning agreement), you must send the course guarantor information about the chosen subject (or several alternative subjects) that you propose as an equivalent (title, content, number of credits, possibly also the method of completing the subject, etc.). If such information is not on the website, the Erasmus coordinators of the host universtiy (or possibly the teacherof teh subject) will likely provide it to you.
Only in cases where such a subject(s) is not offered in a given semester at at the host university, Consultancy Project course can be completed by means of distance learning. In such a case, the student contacts the guarantor of the subject, who will provide information on the conditions for completing the subject.
The course is also listed under the following terms Autumn 2015, Autumn 2016, Autumn 2017, Autumn 2018, Autumn 2019, Autumn 2020, Autumn 2021, Autumn 2022, Spring 2023, Autumn 2024.
