233032 VO Techno-Science and Society: Communicating and Interacting (2020S)

The grade will be based on the student’s performance at the written exam at the end of the term. Registration for the exam via u:space is obligatory. Questions will be based on the lecture and slides. Students are expected to develop a thorough understanding of the concepts introduced, and a qualified overview of the fields of research surveyed in the lecture. To perform well in the exam, students are advised to also consult the key literature for each unit (clearly identified on the slides). In this, it is not necessary to read every book and paper. Rather, students should selectively use the literature to deepen their understanding of key concepts introduced in the lecture. Further exam dates will be offered in the middle of the winter term, and the end of the winter term. These dates will be announced in September.
The exam will consist of answering 3 questions in a short way (approx. 200-300 words) and one question in form of a longer essay (approx. 900-1000 words). You will not be allowed to use the material from the classes (slides), but you can bring a paper dictionary. No list of potential questions will be available.
