Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
In the first half of the term, the instructor presents the topics listed in the course outline. This part closes with a short midterm test (closed-book, 45% weight in the final grade). In the second half of the term, participants take over and give presentations. The topics of these presentations can be more advanced analyses of already addressed topics, parts of the monograph that have not yet been covered, or small empirical projects on seasonal data. Presenters turn in written summaries of their work by the end of the term. This part carries 55% weight in the final grade.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
