Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
Each student has to pick a book from the reading list in the first session, which he/she has to present and discuss with the fellow students in the respective thematic session. In addition to the presentation, students must compose a critical review.
Beside the general reading assignment, students have to prepare one related article for each class and write a one-page reaction paper. The central arguments, theories and approaches presented in the literature discussed during class constitute the material for the final examination held in the last week of the semester.
