Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The exam will consist of a semestral work defense to the chosen valuation problem that is related to the solved dissertation thesis theme. The final evaluation will be carried out by the examination according to Study and Examination Regulations of Brno University of Technology.

Aims

The aim of the course is so that students will gain the common theoretical basis necessary for solving valuation problems connected with assessments of various types of values for varied property types. It is a conceptual clarity, knowledge of related legislation, knowledge of purposes of value assessments for various types of legal proceedings and purposes of proceedings in front of public authorities, price creation on the market, behaviour analysis of the market system, searching for substantial characteristics of entities from which their values unfold, their parameterization and quantification at valuation, objectivized methods for assessment of property exchange value, methods used for valuation according to legislation.
