 1. Mini-presentation I: a short presentation (up to 5 mins.) on your field of studies. If you are
enrolled in a double subject, choose just one. For example, you can promote your department (as
advertisement for future students or you can speak about your personal reasons for choosing the
field and how you feel about it now).  Pay attention also to the structure (there should be an
introduction and a proper ending) and signposting/linking words. No visuals are necessary.
 2. Position paper:  word limit 500-600 words, based on source material (journal article or a
chapter from a book) related to your field of studies. Note: the source material must be also
uploaded in the appropriate homework vault (odevzdavarna). The paper consists of a summary of the
source material and your argumentation with the original. Deadline: 2 days before your final
presentation (it can also be submitted at the weekend).
 3. Final presentation:  6-8 minute presentation on the material you cover in your position paper.
It will be given in groups of 5-6 students and you need to sign up for it in the IS. The
presentation assessment criteria are described in the learning materials in the IS.
 4. Summary of a lecture (listening) : taken in the credit week (or exam period)- there will be a
special date for it in IS that you should sign up for. You will listen to a video (audio) of a part
of a lecture and then write its summary.

Please note that it is also possible to complete the course without the final exam, only by
“zápočet“ (in that case you need to meet the in-class requirements only).


Attendance

For this class to function well, and to ensure that students are able to learn the maximum amount
from the time spent together during the semester, students must understand that they should be
present during the weekly seminar meetings held online. In total students are allowed to miss 3
classes out of those 13 weekly seminars without any penalty. If students miss more than 3 classes,
then they will not be able to pass the course unless they obtain a doctor’s note (and show it to me
or present it to the study office so an omluvenka can be added to the attendance records) or
contact me for a make-up assignment. Attendance means that students should demonstrate active
participation during the course, and be mentally present in the class. Being mentally present means
responding, both orally and in writing, in the weekly seminar meetings.
