Approaches, practices, and methods used in teaching
The course participant is required to complete ten written texts (homework assignments), which must be submitted properly and on time during the sessions of the course CJQM02 (Czech for Foreigners: Pre-intermediate I - conversation).
All submitted written texts (homework assignments) will be corrected by the teacher and reviewed individually with the course participat during the CJQM14 course.
Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements
The course is completed with a final written examination, which takes place as part of the final examination for the course CJQM14.
The final examination consists of a school essay on an assigned topic.
Course participant must have 75 % active class attendance in the CJQM14 course and must submit all ten written texts (homework assignments) on time to be allowed to take the final examination.
Late arrival to in-person classes for CJQM14 or joining an online class for CJQM14 late also counts as an absence. Only absence due to illness (backed up by a medical confirmation) does not count.
Active attendance means readiness for teaching (completed homework, having a textbook and study materials, prepared presentation, etc.) and fulfillment of tasks set by the teacher.
