Metody hodnocení
Tests: Students have to take one midterm test in November, and one final test and translation (from Czech into English) in the credit week to get a credit from Seminar to Syntax A. The combined pass mark of tests is 70%. The pass mark of translation is 70% as well. Online Quizzes: there are interactive self-check quizzes available in the Moodle course, and students have to do them all by the dates specified. Attendance: Regular attendance is strongly recommended, but will not be checked; however, once a student attends the class, they are expected to participate in an active way: asking questions, answering when called on, listening to questions and answers, taking notes. Homework: It is required that students do all the homework assignments, by the dates specified.
