Teacher's information
The lessons will take place in classrooms on the university premises. The attendance of daily students is compulsory and monitored under the relevant regulation governing the attendance. Part-time students have no obligation to be present at seminars. Students with approved Individual Study Plan (ISP) shall meet the deadline for the continuous assessment upon mutual agreement with the teacher. The students concerned shall inform the teacher about the approved ISP immediately after the approval. If the student fails to inform the teacher about the matter therein, his/her claims on the issue will be renounced. In the event of further questions, please contact the guarantor of the subject via email: turinska@vste.cz If a student does not hold a certificate of the required level but their knowledge corresponds to the required exit level, they may request that the instructor administer a placement test. If the test is completed with a score of 80% or higher, the student’s attendance will not be monitored in the given semester. However, the student is still required, in agreement with the instructor, to complete ongoing assessments and the final assessment at the usual times (according to the instructor’s instructions).
