50/50
The students have been introduced to the basics of logical analysis of natural language, thanks to which they have acquired the prerequisites for more successful study of other subjects requiring analytical work with text and argumentation. They have an understanding of the various syntactic and semantic aspects of natural language and practical experience in the analysis of natural language and arguments. Students are introduced to the basics of propositional logic and the analysis of some arguments by means of propositional logic. They are introduced to the possibilities of representing natural language using propositional logic.

50/50
Students are introduced to the basics of predicate logic and the analysis of some arguments by means of predicate logic. They are introduced to the possibilities of representing natural language using predicate logic, to deductive forms of inference, and are able to analyze several kinds of deductive arguments. They have acquired basic knowledge of definition theory and question and answer theory. As a result, they have acquired the competence to analyse more adequately and deeply philosophical, but also exemplarily difficult - legal texts.

All matters pertaining to state examination are set out in Article 14 of the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Arts.
In the bachelor study programmes, the state examination consists only of the defence of the bachelor’s thesis. The student chooses the department as a training centre which corresponds to the discipline within which he/she wants to write the final thesis. He/she reports this choice by the deadline set by the department, provided that he/she is able to find a supervisor and a suitable topic in the relevant department.
For the successful defence of the bachelor’s thesis as the subject of the state examination in the bachelor degree programmes conducted at the Department of British and American Studies, students will receive credits according to the current study plan (currently 12 credits).
Requirements for the admission to the defence are as follows:
- fulfillment of the requirements of the study plan concerning the prescribed composition of courses and their credit value so that after awarding the credits for the state examination the student obtains the required number of credits for the bachelor's degree;
- submission of the bachelor's thesis (electronically via the academic information system AIS) by the thesis submission deadline corresponding to the relevant state examination period according to the academic year schedule set by the faculty.
The thesis is evaluated by the standard grading scale (0-59% -FX, 60-67% -E, 68-75% -D, 76-83% -C, 84-91% -B, 92-100% -A) by the supervisor of the thesis and the designated opponent in the assessment reports, which are available to the student no later than 3 working days before the state examination.
The supervisor's report shall also include the percentage of compliance results from the originality check protocols (CRZP, Theses), which must be explicitly evaluated by the supervisor with the wording "the thesis shows/does not show signs of plagiarism".
The bachelor’s thesis will take the following form:
The defence will consist of a thesis presentation (the student chooses the form of the defence, the PPT format can also be used) and the student’s response to a broader theoretical question, which is assigned to the student by the supervisor upon the bachelor's thesis submission. The supervisor will include this question in the assessment report as one of the points of discussion for the defence; it will also be included in the defence report.
The thesis presentation must:
- Include a clearly articulated thesis statement,
- have a clear and logical structure of argumentation and findings,
- reflect a new perspective on the issue as a result of adequate and appropriate work with the findings gained through own research, the conclusions of which the student is able to present and formulate.
The criteria for the evaluation (of the defence) of the bachelor's thesis at the Department of British and American Studies are as follows:
- Quality of the bachelor's thesis (originality, significance of the analysis, clear formulation of the scientific problem and hypotheses under study, scope of the professional and scientific literature used),
- the adequacy of the methodological approach to the topic under study, the analysis logically and coherently answers the research questions,
- systematic and logical summary of the results of the analysis,
- compliance with citation standards (MLA...),
- language level of the presentation (academic language at least at B2 level),
- quality of the presentation and communication skills.
The evaluation of the thesis will include the areas below with the corresponding weighting (out of 100):
PART A: CONTENT
• Overall structure and organization (adequacy, scope, objectivity, coherence, cohesion) 15
• Theoretical knowledge related to the research topic 15
• Methodology (identifying concepts, research problems, aims, tasks, choosing adequate methods) 15
• Analysis (quality, depth, complexity) 15

PART B: FORM
• Adequate work with information sources (extent, structure, reliability, adequacy, compliance with a citation style) 15

Students must be proficient to at least CEFR level B2 to attend the bachelor’s thesis defence.

The student must submit the bachelor's thesis within the deadline specified in the schedule of the current academic year for the relevant date of the state exam. The bachelor thesis is submitted in electronic form via AIS. The work must meet the parameters determined by the internal quality system of Comenius University. The provisions of Article 14 of Internal Regulation no. 5/2020 (Study Regulations of the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University) apply to the evaluation of the bachelor's thesis. Bachelor thesis evaluation criteria consider the fulfilment of the goals of the thesis in its assignment, originality of the work verified by protocols of originality from the CRZP and Theses systems, to the results of which the thesis supervisor and the opponent express their opinions in their evaluations. Correctness and accuracy of citation of used information sources, compliance of the structure of the bachelor's thesis with the prescribed composition defined by the internal quality system of Comenius University and linguistic and stylistic level of work and formal adjustments are also taken in account. The adequacy of the length of the thesis is assessed by the thesis supervisor.
The supervisor of the final thesis and its opponent will prepare evaluations of the bachelor's thesis and propose a grade in the A-FX grading scale (0-59% -FX, 60-67% -E, 68-75% -D, 76-83% -C, 84-91% -B, 92-100% -A), which the student receives a minimum of three working days before the defence. In their evaluation the supervisor and opponent will give a particular question related to broader historical context of bachelor thesis which the student will answer during his defence of bachelor thesis.
The student orally and with help of presentation (g.e. powerpoint) presents the content, achieved goals, and conclusions of the bachelor's thesis, and answers the questions and comments of the thesis supervisor, opponent, or members of the examination committee. The committee will comprehensively evaluate the quality of the bachelor's thesis, assess the method and form of defence, and the student's ability to adequately respond to comments and questions from the evaluations of the thesis supervisor and the opponent.
