Výukové metody
Classes in the full-time study form will be held on the basis of interactive lectures, in which the theory will be supplemented by practical examples, analyzing and interpreting scientific articles from foreign periodicals, as well as an emphasis on the presentation of results of business cases. Students will not only learn a foreign language and technical terminology, but also demonstrate the ability of its use. The lessons will have a lecturing part (theory, new knowledge including practical examples) and a practical part (reading economical/business articles and their brief interpretation to ensure understanding the expert text, it’s interpretation and possibly to defend the standpoint). Part of the lessons may be also designed as a preparation of the team presentation project. Teaching in part-time study form will be held as guided consultations, where the previous reading is expected. A truncated presentation of the topic will be followed by the interactive discussion and consultation of the studied topics. In both full and part-time study forms each topic will be mostly presented (in detailed or condensed form – according to the type of study) in PPT presentations, followed by an interactive discussion.
Přednášky budou zpravidla obsahovat přednáškovou část (teorie, nové poznatky včetně praktických příkladů) a praktickou část (čtení ekonomických článků a jejich stručná interpretace s cílem zajištění porozumění odbornému textu a schopnosti jeho interpretace včetně argumentace a obhájení stanoviska). Součástí přednášky může být též část koncipovaná jako příprava týmového semestrálního projektu. Výuka v kombinovaném studiu bude probíhat formou řízené konzultace, kdy je vedle zhuštěné prezentace tématu předpokládáno též předchozí samostudium, aby byla možná následná konzultace. V denním i kombinovaném studiu bude každé téma prezentováno (v detailní či zhuštěné formě – podle typu studia) vyučujícím s využitím PPT prezentace, a následováno diskusí.
