Student activities: An indicative overview of time demands
Anti-plagiarism, usage of AI, citing rules
Plagiarism refers to cases where students are not properly citing sources in an assignment, but copying other authors' work, ideas, materials, or data, and passing them off as their own. This also pertains to copying parts of earlier work without properly acknowledging it.
Charles University treats instances of plagiarism very seriously. Any form of plagiarism is unacceptable and will be dealt with using official procedures. Therefore, students are advised to take special precautions and make sure that they cite all the sources they are using in their assignments properly.
Students are obliged to indicate in texts or PowerPoint submissions whether, where, and how they applied AI programs.
Sources shall be consistently credited in line with the latest version of the ISO 690 standard or another internationally accepted referencing standard (e.g. APA, MLA, Chicago/Turabian, Harvard). For more information, please see the following guide on bibliographic citation of our faculty: More on LECTURES Students will be encouraged to participate in discourses about various relevant topics.
The evaluation of students´ written critical reflections on November 18th:
Note: Consider looking at chapters B2, B3, and B4 of the Public Policy textbook for inspiration on how to apply public policy theories. Upozornění: Zvažte studium kapitol B3, B4 a B5 učebnice Veřejná politika s příklady uplatnění teorií veřejné politiky.
More on SEMINARS
Seminars are an integral part of the course. Participation in seminars is compulsory. Their major goal is to complement lectures by giving more in-depth knowledge in the student's area of interest. Moreover, the seminars: · Encourage practical interaction in small groups to elaborate on materials presented in lectures and on specific topics of practical experience and apply theoretical knowledge, · Improve students’ analytical skills and skills in writing scientific texts, · Develop their presentation and argumentation skills.
To ensure maximum interaction among students, the entire class will be divided into 2 main classes, one English- and one Czech-speaking. During the lecture on September 30, 2024, every student is expected to choose their respective class (English or Czech-speaking) and the time of their preference (15:30 – 16:50 English seminars, 15:30–16:50, or 17–18:20 Czech seminars). Once registered, students can change neither their group nor their time of preference due to additional subdivisions and tasks assigned over time. Students who wish to register for an additional seminar can do so with the approval of their seminar coordinators.
Each seminar group will be divided into four teams (A, B, C, D). This helps students actively engage in their group assignments. During the first seminar session, teams will be formed, and the email contact of each team coordinator will be given to seminar facilitators.
Except for the introductory session and the first seminar session on October 7, the rest respect the following structure: · One team will always prepare a presentation on the topic (see below) and upload the PowerPoint presentation on the Wednesday before the seminar week using Moodle. When preparing the presentation, please consult the assigned readings for that week. · Based on the concepts from the assigned readings, the second team will conduct a peer review with the authors of the presentation. The peer review means that each student who is part of the group conducting it needs to pose at least two questions to the presenting group. This team needs to submit their peer reviews on Friday right after the seminar day (Monday). These should be in the form of a reflection on the course of the presentation and its evaluation and the subsequent peer review. Peer reviews should not exceed 6,000 characters (including spaces). · Length of presentation: 25 minutes, length of peer review: 20 minutes, and the remaining time is always devoted to concluding remarks, and organizational and technical matters. · The distribution of activities of the four teams is as follows:
