Přístupy, postupy a metody používané ve výuce

During the semester, the instructor will offer at least one consultation to the students and helpful resources will be posted in the course materials on IS. For the exam, students must submit a writing sample and meet with the instructor for a conversation about their work (see more details about the exam below).

Způsob ověření výstupů z učení a požadavky na ukončení

There are two parts to the exam - writing and speaking. Every student must pass both parts to receive a passing grade for the subject. For the writing part of the exam, all students are required to submit a short text which they have written recently (within the past 3 years) in English. This can take the following forms: A) an extended abstract of around 600-1000 words (not including reference list), describing either the student's dissertation work, or a research project related to their current studies. A recommended structure for this abstract is posted in the course materials. B) an academic paper written originally in English and meant for publication in an academic journal (this can be something already published, or it can be something which the student hopes to publish in the future) C) a short section or chapter from a Master's thesis or PhD dissertation written by the student in English. For the speaking part of the exam, all students are required to meet with the instructor for a brief (30 min max.) conversation about their work. This conversation can take place in person, or online in a video call. The format and probable topics of this conversation are posted in the course materials. All students are required to meet with the instructor, but special consideration will be given to students who submit: A) proof of having given a presentation in English at an international conference within the last 3 years B) proof of having passed an internationally recognized exam in English on the C1 level within the last 3 years C) proof of having completed a Master's program in which the primary instruction language was English within the last 5 years.
