| Unaided Work: | 1. The material examined in lectures and seminars is the minimum necessary for gaining the required knowledge.

A detailed organisation of the seminar work is included in the seminar instruction for the relevant seminar that is sent to students 5 – 7 calendar days before the seminar. Students are required to prepare for the class in accordance with the instructions, for example, to resolve the case given, study additional questions and find answers to them, if any, and then, in the seminar, to be able to defend their opinion and justify it in the discussions with other students. In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal. | ||||||||
