The written assignments will consist in 9 abstracts or critical reviews, each worth 0-10 points (so 0-90 points in all); participation is worth 0-10 points. There are 11 themes, so you can skip two assignments. However, you have to do the first three to be allowed to stay in the class insofar as enough points for these 3 first exercises (16/30) are a condition to get a passing grade.
