Teaching methods

Seminars in full-time study; compulsory seminar participation is 75%.

Assessment methods

1 OBLIGATORY PARTICIPATION IN LESSONS The extent of obligatory participation in lessons has been stipulated as follows: 75% applies in full-time study, 50% in part-time study programme.The subject is assessed based on the student's results in the Credit Test. The test testifies to the fulfilment of study obligations. 2 CREDIT TEST Reaching the result of minimum 60 points out of 100 points (maximum) is the precondition to gain the credit. The student is entitled to one regular attempt (sit) and further resits to pass the Credit Test with the lecturer assigned to him. Note: The students who will be convicted of fundamental violation of the Study and Examination Code while writing the Credit Test (namely the forbidden use of mobile phones, spy pen cameras etc.) will automatically get the assessment “fraud incident“ (i.e. failed). 3 INSUFFICIENT ATTENDANCE In case of insufficient attendance between 75-40%, the assessment “administrative - “ will be entered into the IS and the person concerned automatically loses one attempt to sit the test. The seminar attendance less than 40 % means that the student didn't meet the minimum required study obligations and the credit rating to the notepad in IS reads as follows: “absolutely insufficient attendance“ and the student will be entitled to one sit only. 4 STUDENTS WITH INDIVIDUAL STUDY PLAN The students with the approved Individual Study Plan (ISP) are obliged to get in touch with their lecturer in three weeks’ time since the beginning of the term at the very latest in order to agree alternative ways of fulfilling their study obligations due to optional attendance. In case the student verifiably neglects this obligation, the credit rating to the notepad in IS reads as follows "non-contact ISP" and the student will lose one sit to pass the test. The students who were given the status of ISP on the course of the running term are obliged to contact lecturer assigned to them in 14 days at the very latest.

Teacher's information

In case of additional emergency measures with regard to the situation associated with the dissemination of COVID-19, or, as the case may be, due to other verifiable objective facts, the Department of Languages introduces the following rules for the completion of English language subjects (B_AJ_1, B_AJ_3, B_AJ_5, B_AJA_1, B_AJA_3, B_AJA_5, N_AJ_1 and N_AJ_3) in the winter semester of the Academic Year 2020-21. If it is not possible for the students or employees of The University of Finance and Administration to enter the university buildings or premises, an alternative fulfilment to written or electronic tests in the winter semester 2020 across all disciplines will be an oral examination of students' knowledge in the online environment (e.g. MS Teams, ZOOM, Skype, Whatsapp, etc.) in the length of about 10-15 minutes. The required knowledge and skills for each subject are specified in the Information System (IS) in the section of information on the course. The specific dates of the oral online exams will be agreed upon between teachers and the students of the full-time and part-time study programmes groups, and the oral test dates will be announced in the IS. For students of those part-time study programmes without lessons of English language in their study programmes, the dates of the oral online exam will be announced by the Department of Languages and students will register for a particular date in the Information System.
