Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The seminar provides an overview of the closely interwoven history of urbanization and internationalization between the 1870s and 1970s. The importance of international networks for urban development will be discussed in an exemplary way focussing on governance (internationalization, best practices in urban planning and hygiene, organization of international events), media and urban society (migration, global consumption, participation in international sporting events).

aims: Module goals according to the curriculum

contents: Overview of selected topics of urban and international history; knowledge of basic sources of urban and international history; knowledge of basic concepts and theories of urban and international history

Method: Discussion, presentations, BA thesis

Assessment and permitted materials

The organisation of the seminar depends on the rules issued by the rectorate. At the moment, we envision a hybrid format, in which your contribution will be assessed in the following manner:
1) active participation in the seminar either through personal attendance or through online participation through Collaborate. 'Active' means that you will provide at least one comment or question related to the readings;
2) Moderation of one of the sessions, if you are present in the seminar.- If you participate online you are required to present 3 longer questions as input for the discussion. Each question has to be introduced with a half-page reasoning;
3) The presentation of your own BA topic either in the seminar or as a short video that has to be uploaded to Moodle
4) Bachelor thesis with approx. 40,000 characters (± 5%), including spaces, footnotes, title page, table of contents, bibliography, without graphics (= approx. 9 manuscript pages, 1½ lines, 12 points)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- Active participationand compulsory attendance.
- careful reading of papers to be discussed during the seminar sessions
- One moderation is required;
- The presentation is mandatory - either in the form of a short video or in a seminar.
- Timely submission of the bachelor thesis: To ensure good scientific practice, the course management can invite students to a grade-relevant discussion after submitting the bachelor thesis, which must be completed positively.

Assessment scale:
All written (partial) services to be uploaded to Moodle are checked with the plagiarism software turnitin. The performance assessment is based on the following weighting:

- Moderation 15 points
- Participation in the discussion including various forms of feedback for other participants (constructive, technically correct contributions and commitment to discussing the presentations): 15 points
- Essays 25 points
- Oral presentation including handout: 15 points
- Bachelor thesis: 30 points (agreed deadline must be met)

For a positive assessment of the course, 60 points are required, the bachelor thesis must be positive (one-time improvement with a negative result):
1. (very good) 100-90 points
2. (good) 89-81 points
3. (satisfactory) 80-71 points
4. (enough) 70-60 points
5. (not enough) 59-0 points
