Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance

Attendance and active participation in teaching, (theoretical) preparation of a workshop on a topic of your choice - outlining the structure, activities, and schedule (1 A4 syllabus or PPT) and sending these materials to the teacher. ------- The teaching obligation within the DSP in general: The DSP students should teach the compulsory amount of hours (calculated including preparation). For students of the internal (full-time) form of doctoral studies, the teaching obligation is set at 72 hours for the period of study. It is also possible to include the preparation for these lessons in the total number of lessons taught, in the ratio of 2 hours of preparation for 1 hour of a lesson, i.e. 48 hours of preparation and 24 hours of direct teaching. For students of the combined (part-time) form, a minimum of a 3-hour workshop is required. The teaching of full-time and part-time students at the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Arts, Palacky University in Olomouc, teaching at other departments or universities in the Czech Republic and abroad, preparatory courses for applicants for psychology, educational workshops, etc. can be recognized as direct teaching. All of the above can be combined to fulfill the minimal module requirements. See also the subjects "Teaching [...]" and "Selected issues in [...]". In the event that there are uncertainties as to whether the activity can be considered teaching, the student contacts the subject guarantor and discusses it in person before starting to implement it. Students demonstrate the fulfillment of the teaching obligation by submitting a completed form on the completed teaching.
