Learning outcomes
|
The second teaching cycle begins with the end of World War II and continues through the Cold War, culminating in the collapse of the communist regimes. The goal is to gain a general overview of a wide range of contemporary issues, a more detailed knowledge of the literature, and an integration of Czech developments into the Bolshevization of Central and Eastern Europe. This is particularly relevant to the transformations in the political, economic, social and cultural development of communist Czechoslovakia. Again, the topics of the exercises are chosen by the students themselves according to their own interest, and home preparation is followed by a debate on the chosen topic; "academic arguments" between students and efforts to get closer to the point are welcome.
The listener is able to critically evaluate relevant literature and sources and is able to formulate and defend his/her own opinion in individual debates. At the same time, he/she is able to navigate the main issues of the time, including methodological and heuristic issues.
