Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
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, including written questions on mandatory reading: 25 points, assessed individually, feedback on request;
Homework 1: 5 points, assessed individually, feedback not envisaged;
Homework 2: 10 points, assessed as group work, feedback by lecturer;
Research report & presentation of results: 35 points, assessed as group work, feedback in class;
Final reflection: 25 points, assessed individually, feedback on request;Minimum requirements
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.Grades
100-87 points Excellent (1)
86-75 points Good (2)
74-63 points Satisfactory (3)
62-50 points Sufficient (4)
49-0 points Unsatisfactory (5) (fail)Attendance
Presence and participation is compulsory. Absences of four hours at maximum are tolerated, provided that the lecturer is informed about the absence. Absences of up to eight hours in total may be compensated by either a deduction of grading points or/and extra work agreed with the lecturer. Whether compensation is possible is decided by the lecturer.
Absences of more than eight hours in total cannot be compensated. In this case, or if the lecturer does not allow a student to compensate absences of more than four hours, the course cannot be completed and is graded as a ‘fail’ (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfil the attendance requirements 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 lecturer.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 lecturer.
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.

In this seminar we will get to know visual methods for different purposes, aiming to analyse single images, moving images, and the situatedness of images as well as their interplay with text. We will also deal with the different roles images play within science and science communication as well as the theoretical implications of living and doing research in visual cultures.
During the course, students will get the opportunity to try out the respective methods in practical exercises with material provided by the lecturer, which deals with visualisations of climate change. Additionally, students will work together in small groups on a research project that will also deal with the overall issue of climate change images. Throughout the course of the semester the student groups will develop a thematic focus for their research projects and select appropriate materials and methods. During this process, students will receive continuous support and feedback. The results of these research projects will be written up in a research report and presented at the end of the course. Reading the mandatory literature, actively participating in discussions and exercises as well as presenting their research projects is expected from all participants.
