Aims, contents and method of the course

The writing of a seminar paper (first version and final version) based on primary sources (and not secondary literature) on select topics in late antique and medieval Japan.

Assessment and permitted materials

Several short written assignments, two versions (first and final) of the seminar paper, very short oral presentations, participation in class discussion.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

3 short papers (2 pages) for 5 % of the points each (0-15 points) due as stated in syllabus (always before class).
1 close reading of a passage in the core primary source chosen for the seminar paper for 10% of the points (0-10 points)
1 commentary (written and oral) of a classmate´s first version (Erstfassung) of the seminar paper for 15% (0-15 points)

The final paper should be about 40.000 characters (± 5%), including blanks, footnotes, title page, table of contents, bibliography (excluding charts and images). This is about 20 pages, double spaced with Times New Roman 12points font. Plus a short abstract. You can go over this limit by 5 pages if it makes sense and if you write to the point. No Logorrhea!
