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.
