Exam

Follow-up will be at the home universities. The programme assigns a final paper to each student, to be written during and after the meeting under the supervision of a teacher from the home university. Students submit final drafts 2 weeks after the meeting to Jagiellonian University by PDF-attachment to e-mail. The papers are marked by 2 teachers from (different) foreign departments. The teachers at the home university of the students make the final decision on the marks, on the basis of their judgment of overall performance of the student and the criteria in the department.
