Certification will be awarded based on: A) Participation is conditional on credit from the first semester of this course B) Attendance at lectures C) active participation in discussions D) completion of a seminar paper demonstrating the ability to apply historical methods (and others), including the interpretation of two (unpublished or published) historical sources in the context of the latest research. Submission to Moodle as a file (MS Word/OpenOffice) of 10-12 standard pages with 1.5 line spacing, where a standard page = 1,800 characters (including spaces and footnotes). The text should therefore be between 18,000 and 21,600 characters (including spaces and footnotes), font size 12 (serif). The text must be aligned to the block. The footnotes must directly and indirectly cite: at least 2 sources (including contemporary periodicals), 5 specialist books or qualification theses (with scientific apparatus), 1 popular science book, 2 studies from conference proceedings, 1 journal study from WoS or Scopus, 1 journal study from JSTOR. Some items may be replaced with others in agreement with the instructor. Structure: introduction, essay (may be in several chapters), conclusion, list of sources. The introduction must: 1) define the research questions (objectives), 2) evaluate, comment on, and describe the methods used, or classify the text into a methodological "school" and subscribe to methodological "models," 3) evaluate, comment on, and describe the sources, 4) evaluate, comment on, and describe key professional literature, 5) comment on the structure of the work. The list of sources (divided into A) sources, B) professional texts, and footnotes with abbreviated citations) must be in accordance with the conventions specified by the Czech Language Institute. The exam is conditional on a credit from the first semester, fulfillment of the above conditions A-C, and successful completion of a written test. The exam takes the form of a discussion (defense) of a seminar paper corrected and approved by the teacher on methods, research, results, and problems.
