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 given below (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.
o In addition to the 2-3 given background papers students should include at least three other sources of information (journal article, commentary) –listed on the last slide of the presentation – to provide a round-up of the topic. The presentation should provide a clear story line and should be linked to the content of the lecture.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
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.
