Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course, we examine the political institutions of Austria and the EU as well as key actors and political processes. On the basis of introductory texts, the teaching units are intended primarily for informed discussion. The texts aim to deepen BAK 6 lecture contents and form the basis of the assessment. The teaching units are a combination of oral revisions, lecturer input, short group and plenary discussions, and occasional short tests.
We will have a guest lecture on the topic of "Fundamental rights in the digital age": Sebastian Kneidinger, Epicenter Works.

Assessment and permitted materials

- Regular participation and oral participation in the course - 12 points
- Four short tests (in case of absence, tests are made up orally) - 48 points
- Four Q&A papers on compulsory texts - 28 points
- Based on in-depth text and own media research: Oral input (approx. 7-8 min) OR written commentary (approx. 2 pages), both related to specific questions - 12 points

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In order to meet the minimum requirements, all four performance subsectors must be provided on time. Due to the inherent examination character of the course, continuous attendance and active participation in all sessions are necessary. The attendance in the first session is absolutely necessary for the coordination of the short presentations. In addition, it should be noted that a maximum of two absent lessons are permitted throughout the semester.

Plagiarized performances as well as attempts to obtain partial performances lead to non-evaluation of the course (an 'X' is entered in the collective certificate). In order to ensure good scientific practice, an oral reflection on the submitted partial written achievements can be provided individually, which must also be completed as a positive result.

Examination topics

- Contents presented and discussed in the course
