Karel Stibral to the Board of Universities 3) Miscellaneous The program was approved (9 in favor, 0 against, 0 abstained from voting). 1) Conditions of the Admission Procedure of the FSS MU in the academic year 2021/22 - Bachelor study programs Dean: He stated that after the AS refused to change the Conditions of the Admission Procedure in the academic year 2021/22 for Bachelor study programs at the last meeting, the management of the faculty decided to return to the Conditions of the Admission Procedure, which were valid until the outbreak of the so-called corona-crisis, ie to combine Scio-ZSV and Scio-OSP tests, or Scio-ZSV and TSP tests, with different weight of importance of 60:40. Although the data available to the faculty management show that in order to be able to accept the participants with whom there is a partial certain certainty that they will study well, one Scio-ZSV test would suffice, it took seriously objections from the Department of Psychology that good testing includes several tests. Still, the management of the faculty would want to return to the debate on the form of the Conditions of the Admission Procedure. Černík: He noted that a document prepared by the Department of Psychology made his decision-making easier, as the document have listed possible options with their advantages and disadvantages, for him it was lack of information that made him abstain from the last vote. Šerek: He added that in terms of current feasibility, a option of the Conditions of the Admission Procedure presented is the best. Resolution: AS FSS MU discussed and approved the Conditions of the Admission Procedure of the FSS MU in the academic year 2021/22 for the Bachelor study programs as amended by the minutes. (9 in favor, 0 against, 0 abstained from voting) 2) Nomination of doc. Karel Stibral to the Board of Universities Eibl: He stated that the term in function of doc. Stibral as a representative of FSS in the Board of Universities was finishing. From the side of the AS it is necessary to agree on his nomination again. There is no other candidate for this function. Resolution: AS FSS MU approves the nomination of doc. Mgr. Karel Stibral, Ph.D., as a delegate of the FSS MU in the Board of Universities and instructs its chairman to submit this nomination to the chairman of AS MU. (9 in favor, 0 against, 0 abstained from voting) 3) Miscellaneous a. Information about the course of the autumn semester at the FSS Dean: He informed about the university 's decision to transfer all theoretical teaching to the online form for the whole autumn semester. Only practical training that cannot be held online, would be possible to carry out under specific conditions in person. The management of the faculty tried to concretize all conditions so that students and teachers have the greatest possible certainty what guidelines to follow and what way of teaching will take place. If the situation would not change, he would want to initiate a new negotiation effort at the university level regarding the exceptions for teaching in person of the first-year students, which he did not consider meaningful. Šerek: He asked whether there were or would be recommendations at the university level regarding the exam period in the autumn semester. Dean: He replied that so far neither university nor faculty instructions for the examination period had been issued, it could be estimated that it would happen in December. He would personally recommend to prepare a form of examination in a way that it would not depend on whether it would take place in person or online. A specific form of either oral or written exams could be announced immediately before the exam. b. Upcoming AS meetings Eibl: He reminded that the forthcoming meetings of the AS of the current year are scheduled for Monday, November, 30 and December, 14. Adamková: She raised the question of whether these meetings could be held online. Interpreting of the meeting and a translation of the minutes of the meeting into English would be provided in such a case. Dean: He stated that it would probably be necessary for one AS meeting to take place by the end of October. Eibl: In conclusion, he thanked everyone present for attending and stated that the date of the next meeting AS FSS was currently not fixed and would take place as needed (and on the basis of vote in doodle).
