Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements
Teaching is organized in the form of block teaching, where the lectures and seminars are connected according to the needs of teaching. The Czech part of the course ends with an oral exam. Successful completion of the course is conditioned by participation in French block teaching. Any absence can be excused only in case of illness by confirmation from a doctor, within 5 working days from the end of the absence.
The French part of the course concludes with a written exam scored according to the French evaluation (scale from 0 to 20), it is necessary to obtain at least 10/20. The result is then converted according to the Czech scale of grades and averaged with the Czech grade. The final evaluation of the course is the average of the Czech and French grades.
