Lectures and exercises

A lecture is a form of teaching in which the teacher presents theory to the students. A lecture is typically held at one time only for all students of a course in a large lecture hall. ATTENTION - during the renovation of Building D, part of the lecture is moved outside the premises of the Faculty of Computer Science. Keep a close eye on where a particular lecture or seminar is being held!
Lectures are generally optional and public (i.e. open to non-students).

Exercises (seminars), on the other hand, serve to increase student involvement and practice. There are several exercise or seminar groups for the course, so that one practitioner works with a smaller group of students.
Exercises are generally compulsory and non-public.

Most courses in the first semester have both a lecture and a practicum. Students practice the theory from the lectures in small groups.

For more details on the forms of teaching, see MU Study and Examination Regulations, Article 9.

Choice of tutorial or seminar

During the Enrolment period, students sign up for exercises (seminars). As attendance is compulsory (usually one or two absences are allowed), it is necessary to choose the exercise/seminar group so as to avoid conflicts in the timetable.

According to the new SaZŘ Art. 9 para. 6 (from 1 May 2025), a minimum of one unexcused absence is allowed in the exercises.
The instructor may set looser rules. In agreement with the teacher, it is also possible, for example, to replace participation in one seminar group with participation in another group (covering identical material).
