Literatura

Hodnoticí metody a kritéria

To complete the course, students must submit two written assignments: one short paper (1 SP) midway through the semester, and a longer final paper (5–10 SP) at the end. One standard page (SP) is equivalent to 1,800 characters including spaces. This is followed by an oral exam consisting of a discussion of the two submitted texts.

For the shorter written assignment (due on 5 April), students will prepare their own Artist's Statement.

The final seminar paper (due on 25 May) should relate directly to the topic of the student's future Bachelor's thesis. Relevant academic sources and literature must be used, and the paper must be formatted according to the standards of a bachelor's thesis. Students must consult one of the instructors about the topic of their paper before writing it.
