150031 UE u:japan Lecturecise (Focus Sustainability, Diversity, Democracy) (2025W)

The first visit to a course with continuous assessment counts as sitting the examination, i.e. the course will be graded. If a student drops out during the first three course units and has deregistered, a grade will not usually be awarded.
Active participation by students is expected in exercises. Attendance is compulsory. A minimum attendance of 80% is required for a positive assessment. Exercises are assessed as part of the course, i.e. several performance assessments must be completed on specific dates, which will be announced in the first session.
The following components are included in the assessment:
Active participation in classes or lectures, including preparation,
timely written submissions.
The citation and formatting requirements of Japanese Studies Vienna apply to all course components without exception, see https://japanologie.univie.ac.at/studium/info/

The grade for this course is composed of 3 partial assessments:
1) Attendance at u:japan lectures (> 80%)
2) Active participation in Q&A sessions
3) Research of further literature & preparation of a selected lecture topic

By registering for the course, you declare that you will complete ALL work independently and that you will identify all sources and aids you use by citing/referencing them. Further information can be found on the website of the Dean of Studies on ensuring good academic practice:

Please note:
All text elements and images that have been generated or modified using AI tools in the process of creating a piece of work or a grade-relevant partial performance must be made transparent. Violations will be treated as plagiarism. In all courses that focus on writing your own texts in Japanese (especially practical Japanese courses), the use of translation tools for the independent production of Japanese text is not permitted.
- Plagiarism, i.e. the adoption of other people's ideas and formulations without appropriate references (= quotations), violates the principles of academic work. This also applies to self-plagiarism! If plagiarism is detected, this will automatically result in the entire course not being graded; the collective certificate will then include the note ‘unauthorised aids’, and there may also be criminal consequences. This applies without exception to all written submissions.
- As proof of the independent completion of all written and oral partial performances - e.g. presentations, homework assignments, written (final) papers - the course instructor may require an oral reflection for a positive completion of the course (or partial performance!).
