The aim of the course is to help students prepare for the defence of their bachelor thesis during the state final exam. Also, there will be one check and feedback on the draft of the bachelor thesis during the semester.

YOU NEED TO REGISTER FOR THE COURSE IN THE SEMESTER WHEN YOU PLAN TO HAVE YOUR DEFENCE. IF YOU PLAN TO DEFEND IN JUNE OR SEPTEMBER, REGISTER IN THE SUMMER SEMESTER. IF YOU PLAN TO DEFEND IN JANUARY, REGISTER IN THE WINTER SEMESTER.

The plan for the fall 2021 is to start teaching in person, respecting the current hygiene and epidemiological rules. The students will be expected to participate at the seminars in person. In case you cannot attend a seminar in person due to Covid-related reasons (you are sick with covid-19 or recovering from it, are in quarantine, are abroad and not being able to travel easily to Prague), please do inform Julie Chytilová as soon as possible and provide a proof of this situation. In such cases, you can connect to the seminar online via simultaneous online broadcasting. Please bear in mind that during the online broadcasting it might be difficult for the lecturers to interact with students connected online. Instead of that, there will be a separate short Q&A online slot immediately after the seminar.
