Evaluation criteria
Excellent class work entails regular and continuous participation and attention, with particular weight on the reading and interpretation of compulsory literature (provided by the course instructor), and the assembling of questions and individual thoughts relating to the texts prior to lectures. Students are requested to bring the texts with them to class. For the end-of- term assignment, besides original thinking and amount of work invested, it is also important that it reflect problems, terminology, tendencies discussed in classes in relation to the literature. During the final class, students have the possibility to present their essays or projects to the rest of the class – while encouraged, this is not compulsory. Components of the grade:
