Assessment and permitted materials
Weekly participation and preparation of all classes is compulsory (to be evaluated as either “sufficient” or “not sufficient” at the end of the course). “Sufficient” participation includes a maximum of 2 missed classes, and evidence of active engagement with the compulsory study materials through participation in discussions or classroom tasks. Students who don't attend the first class will be deregistered.The performance assessment consists of four (oral and written) components:
(a) active, discussion-based reading of the compulsory reading, written preparation of the discussion, and oral participation based on this (up to 25 points)
b) Weekly notes writing (10 points)
c) Writing a draft of 1500 words of the final paper to be submitted at U10 (25 points)
d) Preparation of a written term paper of 3000 words relating the monographs to the selected papers (up to 40 points, submission by February 7, 2025, 12:00)
Secondary literature is allowed as an aid. AI (especially ChatGPT) is only permitted for partial performances at the teacher's explicit request.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
For a positive overall grade, all components must be completed positively, and a total of at least 61 points must be achieved.
The highest score to be achieved is 100, which corresponds to a 1 (very good).
The quantity AND quality of participation are assessed in the oral work, while the time allocation, the structure and content of the presentation and the questions with discussion leader are assessed in the pre-structuring with discussion leader.
Written work is assessed according to the following criteria:
- Formalities [e.g. citation style, formatting],
- Selection and factually appropriate scope of the processed literature
- Accuracy of the reproduction of the sources/literature
- Structure and organization of the work
- Clarity of the argumentation and the execution of the thought
- Reflexivity/ability to deal with sources/literature
- OriginalityAssessment standard:
- 91-100 points: 1 (very good)
- 81-90 points: 2 (good)
- 71-80 points: 3 (satisfactory)
- 61-70 points: 4 (sufficient)The course instructor may invite students to a grade-relevant discussion about partial performances.
Plagiarized and fraudulent partial performances lead to the course not being graded (entry of an 'X' in the transcript of records). The plagiarism software ('Turnitin') is used for courses with examinations.
