Teaching methods
Teaching will take place on the basis of lectures (full-time, online, or a combination thereof), in which the theory will be supplemented by practical examples, based on which the student will get an idea of ​​the actual role of managers in business management. This is not just a theoretical education. Knowledge from the Controlling will be presented on examples and students will be tested whether they understand controlling and whether they are able to apply the acquired knowledge. Students are encouraged to strive for the highest possible participation in teaching. Students are required to check the study materials of the subject Controlling and their e-mail boxes at least once a week.
Assessment methods
Students will continuously fulfill the assigned tasks, it is necessary to check the email and study materials of the course at least once a week. The date of completion of the writing of the test will be set for these tasks. These terms will be valid for all students, including ISPs. Absence or non-fulfillment of the task will be evaluated with 0 points. Continuous tests 3x15 points. In the tests, the material from teaching and exercises will be tested - it is strongly recommended to participate in teaching as much as possible. Tests will be not repeated. The core of the test will be focused on how to use knowledge, results, some findings, and what will be the reaction. The core of the tests will be what we will do if, how we will solve something... Without understanding will be not able to pass this course successfully. Final seminar paper 70 points - will be assigned in the second half of the course. Without proper submission of work with appendices and its acceptance, the student cannot be evaluated. If you miss the deadline for submitting the seminar paper, the evaluation will be penalized - 50% of points. The seminar paper will be based on real SME research, on the application of knowledge, on the balance sheet and P&L statement, on finding new ways how to improve something and make the SME better. It is highly recommended to start with searching the SME for research as soon as possible. For extra activity and contribution, the student can get additional points in the overall evaluation and this evaluation will be used for grading. Be as well prepared and active as is possible. Compete for your knowledge with the tutor to increase your managerial and controlling abilities. Written or oral examination - according to the decision of the teacher - does not replace the fulfillment of the duties, tests, and seminar work. The exam is used primarily for students who want to improve their grades (for example, they wrote the test incorrectly or did not pass it). The total number of points 3 * 15 tests + 70 seminar work + possible extra points for the activity. A total of 115 points + extra points. Key to convert points to grade: A 100-93, B 92-85, C 84- 77, D 76 - 69, E 68 - 60, F less than 60 Controlling is also about learning and improving from mistakes.
