1. Reaction/discussion pieces: 35% 2. Final exam: 50% 3. Participation: 15%
Students will need to write 2 short (200-300 word) reaction/discussion pieces during the semester. These should be based on either an optional reading or a policy document you find yourself. The paper should react critically to what you see as the key points of the text and raise at least one question for discussion. There is a sign-up sheet online, first come-first serve. The reaction piece should be emailed to me by 12:00 noon the day before the course – it can be just an email and not an attachment. Students should be prepared to share their thoughts in class. The final exam is given on the date in the schedule below. It will cover the main points of the required readings and lectures. More details will be provided in class. Grading is based on the Dean's Measure no. 20/2019: https://fsv.cuni.cz/deans-measure-no-20/2019

If not said otherwise, the classes are taken in person. Classes require preparation (advance reading of the required texts) and active participation of students. Use of generative AI tools: The use and citation of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT or MS Copilot) in seminar papers and other coursework must comply with the decrees of the IMS Director No. 7/2023 and 9/2023. Generative AI tools may be used unless explicitly prohibited by the instructor. However, they may not be used to generate substantial sections of the text or replace the student’s own intellectual contribution. The student remains fully responsible for any content generated with assistance of AI tools. Presenting AI-generated content, whether verbatim, rephrased, or only slightly modified, as one’s own work constitutes plagiarism. Every submitted paper must include a transparent statement specifying which generative AI tools were used, in which stage of the work they were employed, and how they were used, or confirming that no generative AI tools were used. If this statement is missing or incomplete, the instructor is not permitted to accept the paper for evaluation. Unless the instructor explicitly prohibits the use of generative AI tools, the decision to use or not to use them rests fully with the student. The student has the right to request that the instructor does not use AI assistance for evaluating their work. Last update: Young Mitchell, M.A., Ph.D. (30.01.2026)
