- Teaching methods
- Mode of teaching: lecture The methods used in classes are mainly presentations of new and/or problematic grammatical issues by the teacher, followed by class discussions and questions from students and practical exercises selected from the compulsory textbooks. As for written assignments, students are supposed to do all the tests which accompany the topics studies and which are included in the is.muni.cz course Seminar to syntax B/Syntax B.
- Assessment methods
- In order to be allowed to sit for the oral exam, students have to pass a mid-term test and translation, and a final exam test and translation. The passmark of all the tests including translations is 70 per cent. The final exam test and translation are part of the oral exam, which focuses on the most important topics studied in the spring term.
