Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The university course (UK, lecture with exam) and the seminar (SE) are designed as
a package, so that on each course day the content of the lecture is rounded up by
corresponding group works and presentations. I therefore recommend taking both
courses. It is, however, also possible to register just for either the UK or the SE.
(4 ECTS each).

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

To pass the seminar you need a minimum of 21 out of a total of 40 points:
- 19 points: paper presentation on one of the presentation topics from the list (teams of max. 3 students)
o Presentations should take 15-20 minutes, and should give a critical view on the topic to stimulate the subsequent discussion.

The presentation should provide a clear story line and should be linked to the content of the lecture.
