Learning outcomes of the course: Specific knowledge Willingness and ability to employ research and develop analytical as well as argumentation skills are indispensable features for those willing to succeed in the course. In addition to learning basic facts on the topic of the course, this rather seminar-style course is intended to contribute to developing methodological and analytical skills among the students. Students are also encouraged to familiarize themselves with the basics of the history of the Caucasus and Central Asia. Transferable skills Capacity for logical inference, distinguish between history and historical myth. Students are encouraged to explore and apply the historical myths used by historiography, politicians or historians in their own home countries/regions in their in-class presentation, discussions as well as the final exam. In the process of learning, students are expected to sharpen their skills in conducting the discussion, delivering a presentation and drafting a piece in argumentative writing. To achieve these skills, students should behave in a cooperative, mutually supportive fashion. Values After the completion of the course, students will have a clear understanding of scholars/analysts’ academic responsibility towards society. |
