Information
Prüfungsstoff
The readings posted on Moodle and the lecture recordings posted on Moodle. One is unlikely to be able to get a passing grade or a good grade without these. The exam will be take-home in full or in part. The take-home part involves an essay on an article or chapter , for which you will have a week (using the mandatory readings and the posted lectures). The second part (30 minutes on-line or on site) tests your having done the readings. You can write the exam (both parts) in German, Dutch, English, or French.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Final exam (involving mainly but not only the writing of an abstract of an article, and replacing it in historiography). Each part is eliminatory. The course is unlikely to be passed without attending concurrently the twinned Lektürekurs taught by Professor Christina Lutter, Reading Course Medieval History.
I advise students to read together the articles, chapters, and books, week after week, and produce together abstracts of these, toward the exam. Digesting so much at the last minute will likely not do.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Both parts of the exam are eliminatory (you must reach half of the points in each)
30 points: explaining what are the contents of one of the mandatory readings (main theses, sources used by author). See above for my advice on preparation.
70 points: an extended essay (seminar-paper style with proper footnotes etc) on an article or chapter, with a book-review component, engaging other course readings and the data provided by the lectures. The summary itself is worth 20 points; the bringing in of other readings 20 points; the bringing in of the lectures 30 points. An example of a perfect essay is posted on Moodle.
Grading scale:
0-50 -> 5; 51-62.5 -> 4, 63-75 -> 3; 75.5-87.5 -> 2; 88-100 -> 1
