Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The course will be held in English. No prior knowledge of specific terms or concepts is required, as they will be clarified and discussed in class.
The final assessment consists in an essay on one of the topics discussed in class, based on a set of pre-given questions. The essay is worth 100 points, which take into consideration the understanding of main concepts (30 points), analytical skills (30 points), the ability to combine and engage with the literature (30 points), and clarity of exposition (10 points). A minimum of 60 points is necessary to pass the exam.
The total mark will thus be calculated: 90-100 points: 1; 80-89 points: 2; 70-79 points: 3; 60-69 points: 4. 0-59 points: 5.
The final exam should be submitted via Moodle. There will be four fixed submission dates (one at the end of the semester and three in the following one) to upload the final exam. Such dates count as examination dates, so registration via u:space is required to submit the essay.
