Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is designed for research students working on their doctoral theses in Religious Studies. Students are asked to present their research and regularly discuss the progress of their projects, sharing the challenges and successes they have encountered with their peers. The course aims to help participants further develop their research, refine their methodologies and procedures, hone their presentation skills, and become familiar with scholarly exchange.

Assessment and permitted materials

The course co-ordinator closely supervises the progress of participants' research. Substantial feedback and guidance is provided during individual and group meetings. Distance students can join these meetings via video conferencing tools such as Zoom. The assessment criteria are listed below. The language of instruction and discussion is English.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The course is designed for Ph.D. students of Religious Studies (Religionswissenschaft).

To ensure that the teaching and learning objectives are met, attendance at this course is compulsory. Students may miss up to two 90-minute sessions (for 2 SWS courses) or two 45-minute sessions (for 1 SWS). If students are unable to attend additional lessons, they must provide credible reasons for their absence.

The course assessment comprises three elements: class participation (40%); presentation of research (30%); and a progress paper (30%).

If the progress paper receives a negative assessment, it will be returned to the student for improvement.

The course instructor decides whether and which AI may be used in class or when writing academic papers. The details will be announced in the course and will be agreed upon with the students. In the event of suspicion of non-transparent or unauthorised use of AI, the course management reserves the right to hold a "grade-relevant discussion". The purpose of this grade-relevant discussion is to ensure that the student is able to complete the seminar paper independently. If the discussion reveals that the student is unable to provide sufficient information on the content, methods, sources used or conclusions of the seminar paper, the seminar paper will be assessed negatively. If it emerges during the interview that unauthorised aids have been used, a procedure under study law will be initiated due to the use of unauthorised aids. Otherwise, the assessment originally intended by the course instructor will be retained.

Further information can be found in the current guidelines of the University of Vienna on dealing with AI: https://doi.org/10.25365/phaidra.544 and in the guidelines of the KTF: https://ssc-kaththeologie.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/s_ktf/2019/Im_Studium/Leitlinien_KI_der_KTF_Endfassung.pdf
