Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The goal of the class is to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge of stress research, particularly on social and cognitive psychological research questions. This includes the review of scientific literature and the critical evaluation of the evidence, summarizing research findings to the class, and leading critical discussions. In total, there will be 6 sessions (+1 short introductory class)—each corresponding to 2 seminars. Each class will contain three modules: (1) lecture (approximately 25%), (2) student-led presentation (50%), and (3) discussion (25%).
