1) Home assignments: max. 20 points There will be 2 home assignments (HA) with a maximum of 10 points each, announced in the beginning of the lectures on April 4, 2018 (HA1) and April 25, 2018 (HA2) and posted on the course webpage in the SIS. Home assignments are individual work. You will have exactly 1 week to submit your solution. Submit it in the section ‘Study group roster’ in the SIS (in .pdf format; may be hand-written and scanned) until April 11, 2018, 23:59 (HA1) and May 2, 2018, 23:59 (HA2). If you have any questions or problems with turning in your HA, please contact Miroslav Palanský (miroslav.palansky@fsv.cuni.cz). 2) Wiki edit: max. 20 points There will be a list of Wikipedia pages on topics from public finance that need improvement. You are asked to register in an online system (Wikiproject) that tracks Wikipedia edits, sign up for topics and contribute. Wikipedia edits are individual work. You are expected to contribute around 1000 words to Wikipedia. All your edits are registered in the Wikiproject. You should finish your edits by May 2, 2018. After that, you will receive feedback from us and, possibly, other Wikipedists, and you will have the chance to incorporate this feedback into your edits, with a final deadline of May 18, 2018. Your edits will then be checked by us and you will obtain a grade for your assignment based on the quality of your edits. 3) Final exam: max. 60 points The final exam will be a written test and will cover material from all the lectures, both home assignments and also the course textbook (Stiglitz, Economics of the Public Sector, third edition; only chapters that are covered in lectures). There will be at least three exam dates announced in the SIS. Last update: Zichová Jitka, RNDr., Dr. (15.02.2018)
