Cíle předmětu
This course has a predominantly applicational character and it is designed mainly for foreign students. The content of the course is formed by three interconnected blocks and introduces students to the process of the Czech Republic’s public sector transformation. In the first block, the scale of transformation in the Czech Republic will be introduced and the transformation process will be characterized on the level of the central government. The second block describes the process of fiscal decentralization, and in the third block, students will get more familiar with the transformation of certain selected public sector segments. Stress will be put on understanding the reform’s historical context and the ability to explain all the reform’s particular steps and their influence on the current situation (and problems) of the public sector.

Metody hodnocení
Continuous preparation for lectures is expected.
Students have to prepare by studying appropriate materials and by answering supporting questions. This preparation will be rated by a lecturer who may assign a certain number of points. In every lecture the lecturer could award students with 20 – 50 points for their preparation (number of points should be specified at the beginning of every semester and depends on a number of enrolled students). The number of points given to each student will be written down after every lecture in the “Notebook” in the IS MU system, so every student has an immediate feedback about his/her performance.
Students also have the possibility to get extra 20 points for the paper elaboration (up to ten points for a paper presentation and ten points for a handed paper).
Examination test and final assessment: The basic condition for getting a grade (A-E) from the subject is to receive at least 50 points from previous assessments (preparations of lecturers and papers) and from a written exam, which takes place in the 13th week. Written exam has two parts. In the first one – test – students can receive up to 40 points, while in the second part – essay on a selected topic – students can receive up to 20 points. For the final grade, all the points will be counted up and the assessment will depend on the scale of assessment points.
Grading scheme:
Grades and number of points
A - More than 71 points
B - 66-70 points
C - 61-65 points
D - 56-60 points
E - 50-55 points
F - Less than 50 points
Important information!
If students commit a prohibited act, such as using various forbidden tools, cribbing, taking out any part of the exam or any other cheating, the teacher is allowed to interrupt an exam and to grade a student with F, FF or FFF according to the seriousness of the offence. The mentioned procedure relates to all the activities that are included in the final evaluation of the course (seminar work, essays, tests etc.).
