Comment 3: The abbreviations of courses are derived from Czech titles of courses.

Comment 4: Four-Term Course of Czech Language CZ1, CZ2, CZ3, CZ4.
The main principle of the course is communication. A student will learn the principles of the Czech language by means of the conversational method. Following this method a student will be able to use the language in social life: in a city, at a hotel, in restaurants, shops, post office and other places of business, at a railway station, an airport, a customs office and on a highway, and so on. A student will be able to make appointments and give invitations, as well as to conduct both social conversation and simple negotiations in Czech language. At the same time a student will be learning the necessary grammar including the system of declination and the conjugation of verbs.

Comment 5: Maybe, several letters from the Czech alphabet can be illegible.

Acknowledgments: The editor is grateful for the support from all guarantees/instructors who provided abstracts of their courses.

Credit System
European Credit Transfer System (ECTS for short) defines for one academic year "60 credits". "One credit" corresponds to a little less than "one hour of teaching per week" for the period of one term. At the Faculty of Information Technology at the first study level, these relations are used:
2 hours per week ... 2 credits (0÷1 credit for sport courses)
3 hours per week ... 3 credits
4 hours per week ... 3÷5 credits
5 hours per week ... 5÷6 credits
6 hours per week ... 6÷7 credits
7 hours per week ... 7÷8 credits

Completion Forms of Course Score
Courses are completed in three ways/forms:
* accreditation "ac" (on the pass/fail basis: without points and without grade/mark): prescibed for supporting courses, or for a part of a course
* classified accreditation "ca" (with points and grade/mark): prescribed for courses without theory
* examination "ex" (with points and grade/mark)

Grading
The maximum number of points is "100". Tests, evaluated/classified course projects, evaluated/classified homework, laboratory activities, mid-term and final examination, and other activities earn points.

Scale
