Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Jews were dependent on the ruler in many respects during the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. As holders of the "Judenregal" in their territories, the Habsburgs could act as protectors of the Jewish population, but they could also exploit them financially or have them persecuted or expelled. In the Guided Reading, the students will get to know the different sources (not only privileges and other charters, but also historiographical and literary sources as well as economic records) on Habsburg Jewish policy and, with the help of the most important research literature, practise their independent interpretation and critical analysis. In addition, sources will be analysed that illustrate the practical effects of official documents on the Jewish population as well as the strategies by which Jews tried to influence them or to cope with their consequences.

Assessment and permitted materials

Course with continuous assessment of students' performance: compulsory personal attendance, no more than two excused absences. Performance assessment is based on participation in the discussion of the previously provided source texts. For the written assignments, five papers of 5000 characters each for articles provided on Moodle are to be prepared and submitted via Moodle. The final grade is based on classroom participation and on the written assignments.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Evaluation of the written assignments: 50% content, 30% structure and text organization (structure, presentation), 20% form and language (citation rules, grammatical and spelling mistakes). Late submission leads to a deduction of points.

Scale of point values for the course (max. 100 points total): 50% participation in the discussion, 50% written assignments

Grades: 100-93 points: Very good, 92-83 points: Good, 82-68 points: Satisfactory, 67-51 points: Sufficient, 50 points and less: Not sufficient.
