Course objectives

The aim of the course is in cooperation with the supervisor to prepare and create the official assignment of the final thesis.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course the student will be able to:

- Define the solved problem and determine the appropriate aim of final theses;
- Assess the nature of data files and their relevance to the problem addressed;
- Propose a methodology for solving;
- Define the characteristics of final theses;

Syllabus

• This course aims to prepare the draft of final theses. Students are required to contact the supervisor of their potential final theses during the first two weeks of the semester (ideally in consultation hours or final theses seminar, or via email) and discuss and agree to the content of their theses, which must contain data in the following structure:
  
  - Title in Czech and English,
  - Aim of theses,
  - The procedure of the theses and the subsequent draft outline headings including first to third level (student demonstrates this relationship on a track of it and the ability to organize information on the necessary way; detailed outline form will not be included in the specification, but it is the basis for the supervisor to decide opening the topic),
  - Methods used, with links to each part of the curriculum, i.e. which method will be used in specific chapters and how,
  - Literature and other sources (monographs, textbooks, articles, internet sources, etc.
  - it is expected to close research resources by the student; the quality is also reflected in the decision of opening the topic.
  
  Students are required to demonstrate whether there are relevant data and information sources to achieve the proposed objectives of theses and whether those sources are at their disposal. The student is obliged to prove whether there are relevant information and data sources that will enable to achieve the aim.
  If this condition is not fulfilled, it is not possible to approve the draft of final theses by the supervisor.
  No later than at the beginning of the exam period, all this must be agreed between the student and supervisor of theses. Then the supervisor must entry the agreed assignment into the IS by the end of the second week of the exam period. Based on an embedded assignment in IS student will then be awarded by credit by the supervisor confirming that he/she agrees with the assignment of theses.
  The student primarily proposes the above information, the supervisor performs technical supervision and, if necessary, corrects the topic, objective, methods, procedure and literary sources so that the final thesis complies with the standards imposed on this type of work.
  Thesis supervisors are not obliged to propose their own topics unless there is an active student's approach to assignment development. Responsibility for the topic is fully born by the student; the subsequent fundamental prerequisite of the final theses is the fulfilment of the set aim and identifiable student's own contribution (ie. Not only the simple transfer from other sources or simple description but also the students' ability to propose their own evaluation and application of theoretical knowledge to practical solutions related to the selected problem).
