Synopsis:

The course develops the student´s knowledge from CESP2. It includes working with authentic specialist materials, their interpretation and presentation, and, finally, presentation of the student´s project. Writing skills necessary for professional communication are trained.

Requirements:

Mastery of the material covered in the syllabus for the given semester.

Active participation in class.

Regular attendance, i.e. a maximum of 3 absences per semester

Proper preparation for each class, even in the case of previous absences. Each absence must be made up for (e.g., with a written assignment). Students may be penalized 5% on their zápočet test for being unprepared for class or failing to complete coursework.

Students must be prepared for each lesson. This means that they must have the necessary materials with them each week, including a textbook or other study materials. The materials can be also accessed electronically using a laptop or tablet (not a mobile phone). If a student attends class without the required study materials, this situation is considered an absence.

Independent completion and timely submission of all written assignments (see also note on the use of AI tools).

Final semester test with a minimum score of 60%. In case of failure, the credit test may be repeated once.

Note on the use of AI tool:

Especially for homework assignments, AI tools may be only used with express permission or recommendation.

In the case of unauthorized use of AI tools (e.g., text generation, text editing, etc.), i.e., the text is clearly written by someone else than the student (the submitted work is at a much higher language level than the student's level in class), the student must rewrite the text themselves. At the same time, 15% will be deducted from the student's zápočet test (both in the regular and retake attempts) for each such case. The same procedure applies in cases of plagiarism.

Syllabus of lectures:

Based on the required and recommended sources, the course is focused on training syntax and style of formal scientific writings, scientific paper, writing a CV, letter of application, description of the faculty, preparing a presentation, basic principles of writing a bachelor´s degree project

Syllabus of tutorials:

The course is run as a series of seminars following the topics and scope of the syllabus mentioned above.

Study Objective:

Knowledge:

Morphology, syntax, and lexis at the level appropriate to the course, particularly more complex compound sentences, terms and their usage, condensed writing.

Skills:

To use the acquired knowledge in everyday communication and in more professional contexts, namely to structure and write an article on a specialised topic including an abstract, correct citation referring to bibliography, use audiovisuals in presentations. To write a CV, letter of application, personal statement, use adequate language in an interview.

To qualify for CESP examination,
