Hodnoticí metody a kritéria
|
Písemná zkouška, Esej
During the course students will write two short essays on a given topic, an article is provided as a starting point for the students. The course concludes with a written exam; students will receive a selection of questions at the beginning of the course, which will help understanding the nature of the examination. You may have all your notes and books with you in the exam. The final grade of the exam will be 50% of writing assignments and 50% the result of the exam.
