Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course aims to familiarize students with the basic principles of communicating scientific content to both the general public and specific target groups. Another important goal is to reflect on and deepen the students' understanding of science.
The course is divided into three blocks:
- Science and society
- Science and the individual
- Science communication in practice: formats and target groups
In addition to content-related input provided by the lecturer, the teaching methods of the course include reflection and application of the content to practical cases in various didactic formats (e.g. pitches, group discussions, role plays).

Assessment and permitted materials

A portfolio is used to assess individual written performance. The portfolio involves written reflection and elaboration of the course material as well as work on case studies. Moreover, students' participation in class will be included in grading. This refers to constructive participation and engagement in discussion and exercise phases.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

• Attendance is compulsory; if an entire course block is missed, an oral exam must be completed
• Timely submission of the portfolio - To ensure good scientific practice, the course instructor may invite students to a grade-relevant discussion after submission of the portfolio, which must be completed positively.
Points are awarded for the performance components.
• Portfolio: 80 points (given/agreed submission deadline must be adhered to)
• Contribution, engagement in the discussion and exercise phases (constructive, correct contributions and involvement): 20 points
60 points are required for a positive grade in the course.
1 (“Sehr gut”) 100-90 points
2 (“Gut”) 89-81 points
3 (“Befriedigend”) 80-71 points
4 („Genügend“) 70-60 points
5 (“Nicht genügend”) 59-0 points
