The semester is divided into three parts defined by pursuance of critical discussions about project in process and finished in final phase. All students attend these critiques and all studio teachers and there are two fundaments of it: firstly it is the control of fulfilment of predefined tasks in certain term, secondly it is exchange of opinions about solution ways of given task in wider collective and from this emerging corrections of work process. The critiques are evaluated by teachers with points and they have fundamental influence on final classification.
The dissertation work is then tied up with previous work by individual assignment. This progress of work is approximate and the teachers (prof. doc. and external teachers) can amend the assignment and work procedure according to the needs of given task and their pedagogical ideas.
