Coordinator’s office hours cancelled on 14th July due to personal reasons.

Due to some rumours going on about passing seminar instead of monographic lecture I explain that:

• as it is put in the Programme of studies – it is a general rule that student can choose to pass seminar instead of mon. lec., which means that:
  • no formal request letter for counting seminar as mon. lec. is required;
  • there is no necessity to inform teacher about your mode of passing a given subject;
  • in general the expected ratio of hours is 1:1 i.e. to pass e.g. 120h of mon. lec. student can pass 120h of seminar (in other words, the fact that seminars has more ECTS points doesn’t matter)
    • however,  in the courses offer for 2016/17 there is much more seminar hours than necesseary and less mon. lec. hours than necessary. Hence, in case of students who are on the third year of studies in 2016/17 what matters is ECTS points ratio that should be 1:1.
      • it means that to meet monographic-lectures-requirement, which is 150h / 10 ECTS points of monographic lectures, it is enough to collect at least 10 points from seminars – regardless of number of hours
        • in practice it means that to pass the monographic-lectures-requirement it is enough to pass 120h of seminar (which gives 12 ECTS points)
        • of course student can also choose ‘mixed’ mode, for example: 60h / 4 points of monographic lectures plus 60h / 6 points of seminars. Shortly: no matter how, 10 points have to be collected.

Above rules concern monographic-lectures-requirement and has nothing to do with the seminars-requirement which on the third year is 120h / 12 ECTS points of seminars.

Good luck! :)

Each of the subjects within “Logic II Module” (planned for 3rd & 4th semester) is provided every other year. In 2015/16 it was Logic C&D that was taught, while 2016/17 is going to be a year of Logical Semiotics. However, if you are reeeeeeaaaally certain that:

1. you want to attend Logic C&D and you do not want to take Logical Semiotics, and

2. you will be able to deal with Logic C&D during the (already quite busy) third year of your studies;

you can postpone passing the “Logic II Module” for the next year. However, think twice (or more) – that’s my only advice.

Students who decide to postopne should write an official request for permission to the coordinator of the studies – I will agree in  every case.

I am truly and extremely happy that after a few months of efforts I can announce that University Senate finally accepted new name of the studies which is:

WARSAW INTERNATIONAL STUDIES IN PHILOSOPHY

Of course, in practice the transition will take some time so please be patient and watchful since for some time both names – PBCV and WISIP* – are going to be in use.

* the official acronym of the new name is “WISIP”, with two “i’s”. The form “WISP” with single “i” is unfortunately reserved for “Warsaw International Studies in PSYCHOLOGY” :)
