Assessment and permitted materials
Each session will be planned by a small group (approx. 3-4 persons):
Students will plan a session in groups, each consisting of a presentation of a book chapter and a scientific article (appropriate literature will be provided) as well as interactive elements and a plenary discussion, for which additional material should be selected by the students. The session details will be agreed upon in consultation with the course instructors, and students will receive detailed, constructive feedback afterward.
Weekly homework assignments:
There will be regular (usually one per week) homework assignments to prepare for/and follow up on the sessions, which will be made available via Moodle (e.g., short multiple-choice test, answering some open-ended questions about the course content, etc.).
LABS Credits:
Active participation in psychological research, equivalent to 8 LABS credits (2 hours), is required to pass the course. Alternatively, a written compensation assignment may be completed.
