Teaching methods
Teaching in the full-time form of study will take place on the basis of interactive lectures, in which the theory will be supplemented by practical examples, based on which the student will get an idea of the actual role of business management for its successful development. The lectures will include discussions on the topic, group work, etc. Teaching in combined study will take place in the form of guided consultations. It is assumed that students will be continuously prepared for guided group consultations, in which emphasis will be placed on practical applications with the aim of optimal use of knowledge from the subject in business practice. The minimum compulsory attendance at the full-time form of study is 75%, the combined form of study and ISP students 50%. If contact teaching and consultation in the personal presence of the student in full-time and combined form of study will be impossible, teaching is replaced by distance form of study and self-study.

Furthermore, students will receive 3 continuous tests during the semester - each with 15 points. These tests will not be repeated. A student who does not participate in the online test is automatically evaluated for 0 points. In total, from continuous testing 3x15 points, ie max. 45 + 70 points. If the minimum attendance is not met, the student will prepare an additional (requirement for registration) a seminar paper. The topic of the work, its scope and other parameters will be consulted by the student in advance with the teacher.
