Information

Examination topics

The study materials for the exam include literature and audio-visual materials. Links will be made available on Moodle. Each week, students study a film or other media production alongside literature. In the accompanying lectures, the lecturer highlights key ideas and backgrounds to deepen students' understanding of the literature and media works. The lectures should help students understand why certain readings/films have been selected and what to pay attention to while studying them.

For the final exam, students need to review all readings and films. While the lectures as such are not part of the examination, regular lecture attendance is strongly recommended for students who wish to pass the exam. The lectures will take in presence and will not be recorded.

Assessment and permitted materials

There will be a final exam for this class worth 100% of the final grade. This exam will include 25 multiple choice questions (50 points) and two open questions that need to be answered in ½ A4 per question (50 points), based on the assigned study materials (both readings and films).
The exam will take 1,5 hours. The time calculation is based on 40 minutes for the multiple-choice questions (1,5 minute per question), 30 minutes for the writing of 1 A4 page, and 20 minutes for revision of the answers. The exam is planned in presence, on paper, in the classroom. Students will not be allowed to bring reading materials or digital equipment to the exam. A dictionary is allowed.

A maximum of 10% bonus points can be credited upon successful completion of a multimodal mid-term assignment that reflects on students’ participation in a multimodal event organised by the Vienna Visual Anthropology Lab during the semester.
