Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The topic of this seminar is climate change, ecological challenges and sustainability. We will address issues of social inequality and examine current sustainability strategies of individual actors (municipalities, companies, trade unions and other civil society organisations) and how these are implemented institutionally and socially.
Assessment and permitted materials
Assessment consists of two component elements (UPDATE 17.09.2024)
1. written essay - 30% of the overall grade.
2. Oral examination - 70% of the overall grade. Permitted resources: Written notes.Important Grading Information:
The provision of all partial tasks is a prerequisite for a positive assessment, if not explicitly noted otherwise.The use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for the production of texts is only permitted if this is expressly requested by the lecturer (e.g. for individual work tasks).In order to ensure good scientific practice, the lecturer can provide for a "grading-related discussion" (plausibility check) of the written work submitted, which must be completed successfully.All students who received a place in the course are assessed if they have not deregistered from the course in due time or if they have not credibly shown an important reason for their failure to deregister after the cause for this reason does no longer apply
Students who credibly show an important reason (e.g. a longer illness) for the withdrawal from a course with continuous assessment are not assessed.
Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer. The request for deregistration must be submitted immediately.If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as "not assessed" and recorded accordingly.
You can find these and other provisions in the study law: https://satzung.univie.ac.at/studienrecht/.In case you have received three negative assessments of a continuously assessed course and want to register for a fourth attempt, please make sure to contact the StudiesServiceUnit Sociology. (for more information see "third attempt for continuously assessed courses" https://soziologie.univie.ac.at/info/pruefungen/#c56313)The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading.
