Student Part-Time Jobs vs. Future Employment

Seniors face a different situation because they have to think about serious future employment. 

For many bachelor's students in the Czech Republic, the only opportunity to earn extra money is to find a good “brigade.” The classic brigade is a part-time job for a certain period of time that does not require special skills and training, for instance, work in supermarkets, warehouses, delivering letters and leaflets.

AAU amends fees in wake of law student protest

Krautstengl, while not agreeing to any refunds, responded that there is a legal point of view but also one of “simple logic.” And - as the president pointed out - he is a mathematician.

Protests from a group of Anglo-American University law students over fees they call “rather questionable steps” have caused the school to reverse itself on two of the three issues they raised in an open letter in March.

The group of 10 students of the Comparative Law program, who submitted the letter to president Alan Krautstengl, met with him to discuss AAU’s handling of new textbook fees, foreign student tuition rules and its collection methods for students who owe fees.

From extra credit to genuine interest

Translation is more than just finding the equivalent of a word in another language; it's about interpreting the information we hear and read and adapting it to our existing knowledge.

Those were the opening words at the seventh annual Normal-Abnormal colloquium at AAU, spoken by the event's organizer, AAU instructor Eva Eckert. The words are also particularly relevant to AAU students, she said

Students criticize Krautstengl in open letter

AAU President Alan Krautstengel received an open letter this week that asks him to rethink new out-of-state fee and book-administration-fee policies and demands a public apology for the list of students with outstanding financial obligations the school put up. Who wrote the letter, what does it say and what happens next?

Czechs lead Europe in marijuana smoking

Less than four years after their entrance into the European Union, Czechs have become some of the continent's best cannabis consumers. It's an image that the country is not especially proud of.
"Everybody must get stoned," sang Bob Dylan, The Doors, the Wailers... and the list of bands endorsing marijuana goes on and on. Their message is clear: Weed is a soft drug so let's roll, folks!

Day of Neo-Nazi rally becomes Day of City-Wide "Anti-Fa" Celebrations

By around 3:30pm the Skinheads started gathering at the Charles University Law Faculty. In all there were twenty, the rest were Anti-Fascist demonstrators. More and more Anti-fascists started gathering, and then the police started showing up. The police came with armored trucks with crowd control panels welded to the front. The crowds were growing thicker, and then suddenly everyone rushed to the side of the faculty building. A man had taken a trashcan and started to bash a student's face with one of the narrow metal trashcans outside the building. After the attack the student disappeared as well as the attacker. A square foot sized puddle of blood was on the ground. About three feet away was the dented trashcan. On the wall, between the blood and trash can hung a plaque dedicated to victims of the Nazi occupation that were thrown over the nearby bridge May 5, 1945 as a result of the Prague Uprising only four days before the regime fell.

Combining work and travel pays off

As summertime nears, students plot their plans for months of freedom, the perfect chance for extended trips to explore new cultures. But preparing for life after college is also critical, and summer employment is a perfect way to do this. There are many opportunities to do both work and exploration, although few students take advantage of them, setting apart those who do.
