Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Minimum requirement for a positive grade are participation in at least 80% of sessions (including proof that all papers were read) and presentation of a current publication (selected in accordance to the student's interest and overall course topic).Basis for grading will be classroom work 40% (active attendance, answering questions to literature, own good questions), 40% own presentations (2 well-prepared papers presented in front of the class), 20% of the final grade will be based on the quality of a written review of one publication.Generally student's attendance and deliverables are scored based on the level of understanding. Reading publications and remembering basic concepts are a must-be criterion. A profound analysis, critical appraisal, explanation of concepts derived from multiple publications and the ability to evaluate and use evidence to argue will lead to highest scores.Grades:
5 = <60%
4 = 60-69%
3 = 70%-79%
2 = 80%-89%
1 = 90%-100%

The journal club will include discussion of current research questions in cognitive science on the basis of primary literature and selection of important current publications in the field of cognitive science as well as presentation and discussion in the course of the journal club.Learning Outcomes:
- Deeper understanding of current approaches in cognitive science and their influence on the field.
- Basic understanding of the principles of neuroscience methods (fMRI, TMS) and critical awareness of their limitations
- Ability to follow scientific developments in the field of cognitive science in a reflective manner
- Ability to interpret and evaluate results of primary scientific literature at an advanced level
- Ability to choose autonomously and give a condensed account on primary scientific literature
- Ability to communicate one's expertise in order to contribute constructive criticism in the context of scientific debate
- Ability to moderate dicussion on current topics in cognitive science
- Ability to deal with different points of view in an intercultural context
