Lecture material and the literature listed.

Assessment and permitted materials

The exam will be in person.
I will pose four general questions, of which you must answer two.

Standard of evaluation: the clear reproduction of lecture material is important, as is independence of evaluations.

o Quality of form: correct language use (including punctuation!); good structure and logically convincing presentation of arguments; conceptual precision and competent use of technial terms.

Quality of content: independent presentation of contents (one exact replication of materials from PowerPoints and audiotapes); good selection of contents based on their relevance in relation to the question posed (avoid off-topics remarks!); ability to independently connect contents; ability to detect (new) connections between contents.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimal expectations: the exam answer shows that you are able to identify the general theme and some essential points of the relevant positions.

The clearer and the more comprehensive the answer, the better the mark.

It is particularly important that you have understood the strengths and weaknesses of the positions under discussion.

The standard of evaluation is the general marking scheme.

Minimally accepted level: You must reach at least 40 of 100 possible points.

1: 85-100 points
2: 70-84 points
3: 55-69 points
4: 40-54 points
