It should be taken into consideration that two hours of class work (90 minutes) requires at least 3 hours of extracurricular work (essay writing / individual work / preparation for seminars). 3. Seminars are held in groups. Students prepare individually for the seminar. A detailed organisation of the seminar work is included in the seminar instruction for the relevant seminar that is sent to students 5 – 7 calendar days before the seminar. Students are required to prepare for the class in accordance with the instructions, for example, to resolve the case given, study additional questions and find answers to them, if any, and then, in the seminar, to be able to defend their opinion and justify it in the discussions with other students.
