Important Grading Information:
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.
The positive assessment of all partial performances is a prerequisite for a positive assessment of the entire course, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading.
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" of the written work submitted, which must be completed successfully.
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 during the registration period (for more information see "third attempt for continuously assessed courses" https://soziologie.univie.ac.at/info/pruefungen/#c56313)

Students receive theoretical and practical insights into interpretive research with a focus on reconstructive research. The aim is to deal intensively with the documentary analysis according to Ralf Bohnsack (2013, 2014), to internalize its meaning and possible applications and to learn the individual steps of these analysis process.Contents:
Documentary analysis is known for focusing on implicit, atheoretical (and latent) knowledge alongside the manifest content of texts (interviews, group discussions) and images and thus reconstructing the motives and meaning structures of a group of actors.
Using two research areas (childhood and urban research) as examples, everyday common order and experience spaces and thus knowledge and meaning content are to be "uncovered" through step-by-step interpretation.Methods:
Group works, individual reading of relevant method texts including summaries; presentations; data analysis; written report abut the analysis process;
On the one hand, the students get a methodological insight into the meaning and purpose of the procedure - based on texts that they read independently, central assumptions of the paradigm, methodological steps and current studies are developed and discussed together. On the other hand, students carry out a reconstructive analysis on their own in small groups - based on an everyday question and the material provided. The focus is on the analysis of the data in interpretation sessions and the processing and presentation of the results (and typologies). At the end, the students' own analysis and results should be presented in a report, combined with the methodological literature they have read about the method.
