Course content
|
Graduate Project II (winter semester, 2nd year) aims to conduct an appropriate review of scholarly literature related to the selected research problem (specifying sources and key references that the student will use) and to refine the disciplinary terminology employed. The theoretical part of the thesis includes the formulation of the study?s premises, justification of the chosen topic, setting the research objectives, and outlining the basic methodology, i.e., the procedures for addressing the problem. The analytical part presents the specific problem in detail (a crisis situation), specifies the appropriate methodological tools and procedures, and develops concrete proposals for sharing information with target groups in the given situation. During this semester, students are expected to complete the theoretical part of the thesis and to develop the analytical section.

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.
