This course is a mandatory introduction into one of the social sciences developed at the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSV). It presents economic theory without the use of mathematics and shows links with other social sciences. It illustrates contrasting approaches of different economic schools to economic problems of a small open economy, Czech economy in the European Union being surely one of them.

Aim of this course is to give to students a basic survey of economics as a specific scientific discipline in the framework of social sciences. For further economic studies, students are recommended to take as optional courses "Ekonomie I" and "Ekonomoie II" (or their English mutations "Principles of Economics I" and "Principles of Economics II) - mandatory introductory courses for the IES FSV students that this course is surely not a substitute for and that are standard prerequisities for other courses offered by the IES FSS.

Five tests in Moodle: Čtyři průběžné testy a jeden závěrečný test v Moodle. Průběžné testy jsou za maximálně 8 bodů každý a neopakují se (na každý je pouze jeden pokus, ovšem dobu si můžete v rámci celého dne vybrat). Závěrečný test je za maximálně 68 bodů a jsou na něj vypsány čtyři termíny (máte nárok na tři pokusy). Abyste mohli testy psát, musíte se zaregistrovat do kurzu v Moodle na https://dl3.cuni.cz/course/view.php?id=74#section-8
Terníny: 1. průběžný test: 21. 10. 2. průběžný test: 11. 11. 3. průběžný test: 2. 12. 4. průběžný test: 20. 12. Závěrečné testy budou 3. 1. v 11:00, 17. 1. v 11:00, 31. 1. v 11:00 a 7. 2. v 11:00.
K výsledkům za 4 průběžné testy se přičte výsledek za závěrečný test a na součet se aplikuje standardní známkovací stupnice: 0-50 (F), 51-60 (E), 61-70 (D), 71-80 (C), 81-90 (B), 91-100 (A) Upřesnění 1: Pokud vynecháte některý průběžný test, rozhodně to neznamená, že byste nemohli psát závěrečný test a splnit kurz. Pouze ztratíte body za příslušný průběžný test. Upřesnění 2: Závěrečné testy můžete psát odkud chcete, tj. nebudeme se scházet v nějaké učebně. Narozdíl od průběžných testů ale budete mít dáno pořadí, ve kterém musíte odpovídat, a nebudete se moci k otázkám vracet. Last update: Cahlík Tomáš, doc. Ing., CSc. (27.08.2024)
