150093 UE Exercise Course Political Systems in East Asia (2020S)

Update 20 April 2020: Due to the extension of the Corona/COVID-19 measures taken by the University of Vienna, this course will continue to take place in the form of remote learning until the end of June 2020.

Due to the Corona/COVID-19 measures taken by the Austrian Federal Government and the University of Vienna, participation and attendance in this course will be assessed based on individual tasks posted on Moodle during the compulsory home-learning phase. Please check Moodle regularly for updates. All other requirements and criteria remain unchanged as for now (18 March 2020).

Positive grades (grade 4 or better) for all formal requirements as listed under “Assessment (Art der Leistungskontrolle)” are a minimum requirement for passing this course.

Regular attendance is mandatory and a minimum requirement. In case of absences, the following rule applies: The final grade remains unchanged for up to three absences. If students are absent four times, the final grade will be reduced by one full grade. If students are absent five times, the final grade will be reduced by two full grades. Students who are absent six or more times do not meet the minimum requirement and thus fail this course.
Please note: To ensure a smooth proceeding of the course, be on time! Students who are late by more than 10 minutes will not be signed in on the attendance list (thus count as absent).
Update 20 April 2020: Actual attendance is substituted by individual tasks on Moodle for the remote learning phase. Please check Moodle regularly for updates and assignments.

For the presentations, please upload your ppt and handout 24h before the start of your session via Moodle. Unannounced (less than 48h in advance) absence on the day of your presentation results in immediate failure of the presentation and thus the whole course.
Update 20 April 2020: Recorded presentation are to be uploaded on Moodle for the remote learning phase. Peer feedback and discussion will be written only. Please check Moodle for details.

Grading is based on a “continuous assessment of coursework” (“Prüfungsimmanente Lehrveranstaltung”). Repetition of individual assessment criteria, therefore, is not possible.

General Rules of Good Academic Practice apply. Non-compliance will result in legal measures according to the regulations of the University of Vienna. All written submissions via Moodle are subject to an automated plagiarism check.

All minimum requirements and assessment criteria will be discussed during the first class. By continuing this course, students accept all minimum requirements and assessment criteria. Attendance at the first session thus is mandatory. Absence at the first meeting will lead to automatic de-registration from this course.
