Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The first aim of this course is to introduce students to some important and wide- ranging economic theories as well as to their historical and economic problem situations. The discussions will be based on literature referring to economics and economic history and will remain on an introductory level. The other major aim of this course is to make students familiar with the language of economics and to provide a training space for particioning already existing English language skills.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Examinations will take place in June 2009 at the last meeting of the course by one 90 minute invigilated examination paper. The examination paper contains about 10 questions, of which the candidates are required to answer more than 50% correctly in order to pass.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Diligent students will learn to make sense of and evaluate the historical background, achievements, main criticisms and later developments of these different ideas which implicitly cover much ground even in modern economic textbooks and historical investigations.

Prüfungsstoff

Teaching consists in one unbroken 90-minute lecture/seminar weekly. Students are required to contribute in a lively manner to discussions at all classes and to produce one substantial talk and seminar presentation (about 30 minutes). Before presenting their talk in class, students are required to prepare and discuss their talks with the lecturers of this course. In order to initiate discussions students will have to prepare answers to problems for each meeting. English will be the only accepted language for all activities (lectures, discussions, presentations, written exercises, examinations) in the context of this course. All relevant texts will be made available on a special space of the e-learning device "Fronter". Students are expected to have basic knowledge of handling this tool.
