Students can earn a maximum of 50 points on the essay depending on the quality of their answers concerning reflectiveness, clarity and stringency. Beyond, students have to show in their essays that they are able to connect the literature to the presented theoretical and methodological approaches and to critically reflect the presented transdisciplinary approaches of studying, communicating and combating climate change.Out of the 50 points, max. 10 points are given for the right format, length and scientific rigor of the paper (stringent quotation system, bibliography etc.), max. 20 points are given for meaningfully connecting the mandatory articles with the content of the lectures or with a chosen climate-change-related topic, and further max. 20 points are given for the quality of the argumentation within the essay concerning reflectiveness, clarity, stringency and originality.50-45 points = 1 ("Sehr Gut")
44-38 points = 2 ("Gut")

Zuordnung im Vorlesungsverzeichnis
Letzte Änderung: Fr 12.05.2023 00:20
Students attending the lecture series have learning outcomes on two levels. First, they become acquainted with recent trends in interdisciplinary climate change and climate action research. Second, students gain insights into the "Climate Walk" project for which they are encouraged to participate as volunteers and co-researchers. Thus, it is a stated goal of the lecture series to introduce students to research on the social, cultural and political implications of "Climate Change" and "Changing Climates" throughout Europe.
The lecture series consists of seven three-hour sessions from March to May 2021, and one follow-up session in June. Whereas the first 90 minutes of the session is devoted to academic experts and their stance on the different branches of climate research (represented in the project). The second part uses examples and civil society practitioner’s experiences to illustrate the theoretical and methodological considerations of the first part.For our preliminary lecture poster click here: https://sprint.climatewalk.eu/cwlectureinfo
