Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course aims to offer an insight into the Challenges of Urban Futures addressing both classic as well as contemporary challenges. Challenges changed over time, but some common elements can be traced. Students will be made aware of the different theoretical and methodological approaches and – after introducing them to the analytical tools needed to analyze these challenges - they will be required to select a challenge and to critically reflect on it, presenting a review on the specific debate they selected. An internal feedback loop will accompany presentations and discussions. Challenges range from segregation to gentrification, from governance to environmental challenges, from short-term rental to the commodification of space, etc. There will be also the opportunity to meet authors of relevant contributions to the field.
Assessment and permitted materials
Themes presentation, active participation in the debates, written feedback loops to presenters, and final paper.-----
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.
For a positive assessment of the course, all partial achievements must be fulfilled.
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)
