Course contents:

An expectation for completion of this course is regular attendance at lectures because there will be no chance to present material again and the inter-dependence of the topics are quite fixed. Both courses are completed with written and oral examinations by which the instructor will classify the students. For effectiveness in the course are texts of Minimum z dějin české animace („Minimum from the history of Czech Animation“) and God-willing, by the end of the semester there will be, as well, Minimum z dějin světové animace („Minimum from the History of International Animation“), with which the students can fill in the 'white areas', which may arise from rare absences at lectures.
