Hodnoticí metody a kritéria
Class Attendance: The students are expected to attend all classes. If a student is sick or has another duty (e.g. needs to be present on the shooting), s/he needs to apologize to the professor ahead, otherwise, the absence is treated as unexcused. 75% presence on the class is required and a student may not pass the class if the absences (whether excused or unexcused) exceed 25%.
Class Participation: Participation in the class discussion will be significantly taken into account in the final grade. Participation means a meaningful contribution in the classroom, utilizing the resources and materials presented to students as part of the course. Students are required to actively, meaningfully and thoughtfully contribute to class discussions and all types of in-class activities throughout the duration of the class. Meaningful contribution requires students to be prepared, as directed, in advance of each class session. Particularly, students will read the text(s) required for each lesson. All students will be ready to discuss the readings in the class. Lively discussion is expected. Students are expected to ask clarification questions if they cannot follow the instructor’s or other students’ line of thought or argumentation.
The professors may ask students to fulfill the partial assignment.
