Teaching methods
Students are encouraged to debate. They are supported equally in an individual or in the collective activity. Students can perform their ideas via various papers or exposes. It should form a path, as it is believed, towards self-creativity enabling to ground better one’s own position. The continuous feed-back helps to correct the semester handout of the subject.
Assessment methods
Handing a paper. Written examination aimed at testing the student’s insight into the main theories, concepts and methodologies of the discipline, or in the work of the main representatives of the scholarly discourse, and at checking the student’s ability to connect relevant facts into logical relations.
