Výukové metody
Teaching methods consist of lectures, class discussions and presentations of position papers and their evaluations.
Metody hodnocení
1. Students are expected to read the required reading(s) for each seminar. If there are two or more required readings rather than one, students are expected to read all of them. 2. Students are encouraged to actively participate in the seminars by posing questions of clarification or bringing up problems for discussion. 3. Students are expected to present the outline of their final paper (power point presentation). The presentation should be uploaded in the Information system MU (section Homework Vaults/“Odevzdávárny”) and sent via e-mail to the lecturer responsible for the respective seminar. The presentations should be uploaded and submitted no later than 1 p. m. of the day before the seminar for which the paper is written. The personal presentation in seminar is necessary. Main components of presentation are: definition of goals of final paper, description of its structure, frameworks and methods and theoretical background, short description of chapters, presumed conclusion and information about sources. Topic of presentation (the same as the topic of final paper) should be consulted with lecturer (M. Mareš or M. Čejka) and it is necessary to send him information about this topic to 11 October (e-mail mmares@fss.muni.cz). He decides about the date of presentation (in relation to the topic). At the end of the semester students should submit a 20 page long final paper (36 000 characters +/- 1000 characters, including literature and notes, longer paper can be approved after consultation with lecturer) on a topic relevant to the course. Deadline for submission is January, 19th. Components of evaluation are original authors approach, relevant goals and methods, theoretical background, conceptualizing of the topic, structure, sources and literature. 5. There will be a final in-class written exam, consisting of five questions based on the required readings and the discussions and presentations in class (each final-exam question gets between 0 and 6 points). Grading: The final grade will be calculated as a composite evaluation consisting of three parts: 1) evaluation on presentation of the outline of final paper (max 6 points) 2) evaluation on the final paper (max. 24 points) 3) evaluation of the final exam (max. 30 points) The grade will be calculated on the basis of the number of points collected. In order to complete the course, students must collect at least 36 points (60% of the max. points for all parts, i.e. 60 points). Notes: 56-60: A 51-55: B 46-50: C 41-45: D 36-40: E 0-35: F
