Assessment methods
This course is taught only in the form of seminar sessions and it is completed with conferring a credit. Credit requirements include the following:
- 80% active participation in seminars (systematic continuous preparation and fulfilling assigned tasks)
- 60 % success rate in the final credit test
- elaborating a seminar paper (translation of an economic article; the translation should consist of approximately three paragraphs and it should be written up according to an instructor's guidelines and handed in by a deadline set by an instructor).
If a student commits a prohibited act, such as using various forbidden tools (e.g. cheatsheets), cribbing, taking out any part of the credit test or any other form of cheating, the teacher is allowed to interrupt the test and to grade the student with F, FF or even FFF, according to the seriousness of the offence. The described procedure applies to all the activities that are included in the final evaluation of the course (seminar work).
