Grading scheme:
The grading scheme is based on a total of 100 points. These points will be awarded in relation to students’ performance in meeting the course learning aims in the different obligatory tasks.
The maximum number of points to be acquired for each task is:
Participation in class: 25 points, assessed individually
Research plan and presentation: 15 points, assessed as group work
Peer feedback: 15 points, assessed as group work
Final paper and presentation: 45 points, assessed as group work (can be negotiated)
A minimum of 50 points is necessary to successfully complete the course. Failure to meet the attendance regulations, to deliver course assignments on time or to adhere to standards of academic work may result in a deduction of points.
Important Grading Information:
If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme and the attendance regulations must be met. If a required task is not fulfilled, e.g. a required assignment is not handed in or if the student does not meet the attendance requirements, this will be considered as a discontinuation of the course. In that case, the course will be graded as 'fail' (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfill the task on the student's side (e.g. a longer illness). In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate this in a timely manner, and to provide relevant evidence to their claims if necessary. Whether this exception applies is decided by the vice-director of studies responsible for the master program.
If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as 'not assessed' and will be entered into the electronic exam record as 'fraudulently obtained'. Self-plagiarism, particularly re-using own work handed in for other courses, will be treated likewise.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The goal of the seminar is for you to come to an understanding of the scope (and the limits) of ethnographic methods, to gain hands-on experience in their application through working with your own data and to reflect on your role as ethnographers. This will enable you to confidently apply the methods in your own research project in the future e.g. in your thesis work.
Prüfungsstoff
The course will cover historical and philosophical underpinnings of ethnographyand test observing, interviewing and analyzing data in class. In parallel, you will conduct your own ethnographic studyin small groupsand present your work process and, subsequently, your results in class, receiving feedback and support from the course instructor and from your peers.

Overthe course of the semester you will develop your own ethnographic research project and move through its different stages: developing a research plan, planning and conducting (participant) observation and qualitative interviews, managing issues of moving into and out of the field, identifying gate keepers, building rapport with research subjects, reflecting on and dealing with ethical issues, writing field-notes, analyze the data through qualitative analysis and, finally, practice ethnographic writing.
