Course of Tomas Roztocil Introduction to Czech Culture for Foreign Students: KAA/ERAS: Info and Schedule In the spring semester 2025, the ERAS course on Introduction Czech Culture and History will take place in the form of a block seminar. We will cover the essentials during the first three weeks of the semester and the rest of the semester will take place in a hybrid form, through a couple of online classes and discussions published on public student-made blogs. The first class will take place on Friday, February 14 in two parts: 9:00-12:00 and 14:00-18:00 in CCCS Library at KA 3.31, second class on Friday, February 21 9:00-12:00 and 14:00-18:00. We will schedule the third session during our seminars. Since this is a block seminar, the 100% attendance during the first weeks is necessary (no exceptions) and students should be aware that there will be a considerable amount of reading, writing, and other forms of independent work assigned during the semester. We will go through all the formal requirements in our first seminar. If you have any further questions, please reach the tutor at: roztoctom@gmail.com
