Comment 3: The abbreviations of courses are derived from Czech terms.
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 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 offices, 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) 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 semester. At the Brno University
of Technology, 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 ... 5 credits
5 hours per week ... 6 credits
6 hours per week ... 7 credits
7 hours per week ... 8 credits
Completion Forms of Course Score
Courses are completed by three ways/forms:
* accreditation "ac"
(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, mid-semester examination, evaluated/classified course
projects, evaluated/classified homeworks, laboratory activities,
final examination, and other activities earn points.
