Teacher's information
As part of the innovation of the course in view of the developing international cooperation between VŠTE and the Finnish university TAMK, a group of students will be selected to participate in online lectures in English during the semester. These lectures will include both theoretical and practical knowledge in the context of working on case studies in international teams. This approach will enable the development of international collaboration skills and enhance theoretical and practical experience in an ever-changing corporate environment. Students will be required to actively participate in online lectures, collaborate on assigned case studies and meet all tutor requirements in accordance with set assessment criteria.

Active participation and production of case studies is required for successful completion of the course by a selected group of students and will be graded at 100%.

. Combined teaching takes place in the form of teaching blocks, where students are in direct contact with the teacher. The students are in direct contact with the teacher not only in the block teaching but also in the consultation sessions scheduled for the students of the combined form of study. Communication with the student is supplemented by electronic communication via e-mail and via the school's information system (intranet).

The course is also listed under the following terms winter 2022, SUMMER 2023, winter 2023, summer 2024.
