Students are evaluated on the basis of two presentations of their own work (each 1/3 of the final grade) and the feedback they provide to others (1/3 of the grade).For their second presentations, students must have carried out at least 60% of the work needed towards their MA thesis.Attendance is mandatory: missing more than two 90-minute units will result in a negative grade.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students must obtain a grade of at least 50% to pass the course. 50% - 59% implies a 4; 60% - 69%, a 3; 70% - 84%, a 2; 85% - 100%, a 1.
Examination topics
This is a seminar in which current economic research by MA students is being discussed. Hence no exams and no fixed topics.
