Letzte Änderung: Di 31.05.2022 00:18
This is an advanced, research-intensive seminar that depends on the active participation of each student. Students are expected to contribute throughout the semester, by participating in class discussion, by presenting a written source and a non-written source and by giving a book report on relevant scholarly literature. In addition, students will develop a research topic of their own, which they first present in oral form and then write up in an extensive scholarly essay.
