Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of the seminar is to develop students' understanding of scientific psychology, scientific thinking and scientific communication, and to better appreciate what it means and how it feels to be a working scientist.

Content: We will focus on scientific practice and selected topics in the field of "perception, aesthetics and affect," gaining insight into central psychological theories and research paradigms in these areas as introduced in class discussions and proposed by student-led groups.

Methods: lecture, active participation, and small-group discussion; student-led design and presentation of a selected topic within one unit; completion of a final test; writing of a short paper.

Language is in English.

Assessment and permitted materials

Active participation (30%), group work/presentation (30%), final test (20%), written paper on a selected class topic (20%).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The basic requirement for a positive grade is your regular presence in class with a maximum of two missed dates (without prior arrangement).

The total sum of above assessments will constitute the final grade. Passing grade (4) = 60%.
If you do not attend the first class (without contacting me before class start), I reserve the right to give your spot to another student on the waiting list.
