Course content

Graduate project II (winter semester of the 2nd year) aims to carry out an adequate research of the literature related to the selected problem (specification of sources and key sources with which the student will work) and to refine the terminology used in the field. The theoretical part of the thesis includes the formulation of the background of the thesis, justification of the chosen topic of the thesis, determination of the aim of the thesis and the basic methodology, i.e. the procedures of how the problem will be solved. The analytical part presents in detail the specific problem to be solved (crisis situation), specifies appropriate methodological tools/approaches and elaborates specific proposals for sharing information with target groups in the given situation. In this semester it is expected to complete the theoretical part of the thesis and elaborate the analytical part.

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the three logically linked seminars Graduate Project I, II, II is to systematically guide students in the preparation and writing of their final thesis. In the course of the seminars, students learn the basic principles of creating and structuring a larger professional text, working with sources and citation ethics, as well as implementing and solving their own practical project. Under the supervision of the thesis supervisor, the student gradually acquires the competence to carry out analytical and interpretative activities in the chosen field when dealing with a specific selected problem or a specific crisis situation. Seminars are conducted once a month in the form of a group meeting, where students present their work in progress to each other and provide mutual feedback. An obvious prerequisite of the courses is the independent work of the students during their studies and their individual consultation of the process of preparation, implementation and writing of the thesis. The student continuously reflects on the supervisor's comments and takes them into account both in the next steps and in the revision of the already written parts.
