Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar serves to deepen and expand the content of the M2a lecture. Attending the lecture is not necessary to follow the seminar, but recommended. On the basis of further literature, historical case studies, and current controversies, we will get to know and discuss epistemological and scientific problem complexes together.

Assessment and permitted materials

The overall grade is composed of a paper (60%) and further assignments (20% presentation, 20% intellectual participation).

Although the seminary will be held in German, the assignments can be done in German as well as in English.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Compliance with compulsory attendance (max. 1 unexcused absence) and positive grading of the final essay.

Good knowledge of English is required. If you are unable to follow the seminar in German, please get in touch with me before the start of the seminar so I can adjust my teaching material accordingly and provide you with additional help.

Examination topics

Alle in der Lehrveranstaltung durchgenommenen Inhalte, insbesondere auch die fachlichen und fachdidaktischen Inhalte und Überlegungen der eigenen und der im Seminar präsentierten Planungen. Unterstützendes Lernmaterial befindet sich auf Moodle.
