Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
In this class students will come to grips with the liberal ideal as presented in F. A. Hayek's piece: "The Constitution of Liberty." At the end of the term, students will be able to articulate the main logic behind Hayek's theory and to elaborate on concepts that are central to it. In addition, they should be in a position to critically evaluate a significant subset of his normative and positive claims.In preparation of each seminar, students will read the assigned core text and, occasionally, relevant scientific publications that will be made available in due time. They will also be expected to complete short, weekly homeworks and to create one podcast during the term. Students should be prepared to briefly explain their homework submission in class.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
There will be a series of weekly homeworks to hand in (via Moodle). These are intended as (1) a self-help device (i.e., they should help you figure out, prior to class, whether or not you paid sufficient attention to the reading assignment of the week) and (2) a basis for collective brain-storming. For these reasons, I will evaluate them along completeness criteria only. The scale (detailed below) is such that students can skip at least one of the weekly homeworks without loosing a chance for a full grade.On a chosen week in the term, the student will have to team up with one classmate and produce a podcast about the weekly read. Podcasts will be evaluated on three criteria (proper selection of topics, clarity and audience friendliness, contextualization), each of which can be fully met, partially met, or not met at all. The scale (detailed below), imposes that all criteria be at least partially met.At the end of the term, the student will be asked to submit an essay. Detailed assessment criteria will be shared on Moodle in due time.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Your weekly homeworks will make up 25% of your final grade; they will be evaluated according to the following scale:1: 85-100% of the questions are completed;
2: 75-84% of the questions are completed;
3: 60-74% of the questions are completed;
4: 50-59% of the questions are completed;
5: 0-49% of the questions are completed.Your podcast will make up 25% of your final grade; it will be evaluated according to the following scale:1: All three criteria fully met;
2: Two criteria fully met, one partially met;
3: One criterium fully met, two partially met;
4: Three criteria partially met;
5: At least one of the criteria is not met at all.Your final essay will be similarly evaluated on a scale from 1 to 5. It will make up 50% of your final grade.You pass the class if and only if your three grades, properly weighted, average between 1 and 4.
