Syllabus (in Czech)
  • This is an intense course, based on presentation by students. Every week, students will be required to read a a professional research paper and make a series of presentations based on that.
Teaching methods (in Czech)
Every week, students will be required to make a presentation based on a professional research paper. The presentations will be structured as:

1. Show the facts/generalisations that the paper is based. Show them NOT in the order or angle the article shows them, but in the most concise, logical and useful angle according to you.

2. Impersonate the author: pretend YOU believe the theory proposed by the author, and present that theory in what you think is the most convincing way. (This may or may not be the way the author presents their own theory.) Present only the central core of the theory, the main idea - discard technical details.

3. Switch position, and give us your best critique of the author's theory.

4. Improve the paper: rework the data presented in the paper in a way that you personally find more convincing and more elegant, ideally in terms of the framework you are currently using in your research. Give a convincing, efficient, presentation of this reworked approach. This is the most important part of the exercise!

5. Do a brief write-up of your reworked approach In order to pass the class, you will be required to complete at least 3 such exercises.
