Assessment methods and criteria

unspecified
The state final examination is assumed to be an oral examination of Czech/Czechoslovak substances and may also include a defence of the final bachelor's thesis. The defence of the final thesis does not have to take place on the day of the oral examination; its result affects the overall grade only in case of failure. For the defence, the student can use the possibility of a projected presentation, for the oral examination, historical atlases are available. The defence is connected with a debate on the topic of the final thesis, the oral examination in the form of questions is aimed at a debate on the material covering the scope of prehistoric to modern history. In both cases, the student's performance is assessed by a committee headed by a chairman appointed from among associate professors and professors.
