Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
At least since the recent terrorist attack in Paris against the editorial team of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, it has now become clear to everyone just how great the power of laughter may be.The comic is actually a very serious matter. The comic in literature is a phenomenon as large as a galaxy;a phenomenon that includes various solar systems such as comedy, satire, parody, humour, irony, wit, etc. All of these solar systems follow their respective laws of gravity and are the result of specific historical developments.
Assessment and permitted materials
The performance is determined based on the "oral" and "written" contributions of the students:a) Each participant must write a seminar paper of at least 20/25 pages (Arial/ Times new Roman, font size 12, line spacing 1.5) on a topic of their choice.b) In addition must be given a presentation on the topic of the seminar paper, consisting of a 15/20 minute PowerPoint presentation- (A handout with a short bibliography is to be enclosed.)To determine the grade, the following are assessed: participation in the seminar, the presentation and the seminar paper.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The semester grade consists of 50% from the seminar paper and a further 50% from the presentation (or short essay, 25%) and the participation in the course (25%). At least 50% of the requirements must be met for a positive degree.
Examination topics
Regular participation in the course is expected and evaluated by the students as a partial performance. In addition, each student has the choice of giving a topic-related presentation with a PowerPoint presentation and handing in a handout. In addition must be submitted a scientific paper of at least 20/25 pages of continuous text.
