Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The seminar is set up in a way that students have to prepare given articles and texts prior to each session. Most of the sessions are structured in a way that small working groups discuss the topic at the beginning of the session and subsequently the debate will be shifted to the plenary. The reason for this method is to enable students to participate actively on a constant basis.Students have to write three essays (max. 1500 words each) over the course of the semester. The purpose of the essays is to deepen the understanding of the articles and link them to the topic of the session. In line with the course structure, one essay needs to be submitted for each part of the seminar.
Apart from the essays (50%), students have to write a midterm take-home exam (40%). The purpose of the exam is to get feedback on the level of understanding of the content of the course covered until the exam. Moreover, two sessions will include a seminar (simulated) conference, which means that students, in groups, have to prepare short presentations of given topics covered in the texts (10%).Therefore, the final grade consists of three assessments:
1. Three written essays (max. 1500 words) based on the seminar readings and class discussions (50%).
2. Midterm take-home exam consisting of several open questions relating to the seminar content (40%).
3. Student group presentation - based on one of the seminar texts (10%).
