Teaching methods

The course is taught partially as lectures, partially as seminars and discussions. Lectures take place only twice in a week in lecture halls – room name starts with letter "P". The schedule of lecture halls for this course can be found in the interactive syllabus of this course (https://is.muni.cz/auth/el/1456/podzim2015/MPH_MAN2/index.qwarp). Students enrolled in other seminars than those taking place in lecture halls can decide which hall to visit for the lectures. Students will work in teams on presentations on a specified topic and on case studies. Detailed information about topics to study and semester schedule can be found in the interactive syllabus (in Czech: https://is.muni.cz/auth/el/1456/podzim2015/MPH_MAN2/index.qwarp). Attendance on seminars is compulsory.

Assessment methods

Students have to pass an oral examination to successfully conclude the course. Students can only take the exam after giving their presentations in seminars and fulfilling other duties required at seminars.
Any copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the subject and as a serious breach of study regulations. As a consequence, the teacher grades the student with "F" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.
