organization of the course 2022 the seminars will be organized on-site (with the possiblity to attend online for students in a situation of quarantine or those facing health difficulties). Assessment methods: 1) Active participation at the seminars All of our class meetings are organized around group discussion. Students should come to class prepared to discuss the compulsory literature. The success of our course largely dependents upon our collective engagement with the readings. Participation in seminars is compulsory. One absence is tolerated. For more absences, please contact seminar leader.
2) Oral presentation at seminar (20 minutes long): 15 points Student will select one of papers/topic assigned as reading/topic for presentation to present at seminar. Two forms of presentations are available: • Topic for presentation. This form of presentation is intended as group presentation (in group of 2-3 students) of topic relevant for our course. Topics for presentation are listed in the syllabus. A suitable reading for the presentation is available in the syllabus, however students are encouraged to find other resources. The presentation of topic is not intended as a summary of the recommended reading but a presentation of the topic itself (e.g., data that are available regarding this particular form of inequality, social context of the topic, controversies regarding the topic…) •Presentation of assigned paper. This form of presentation is intended as individual presentation of the selected paper. During the presentation students should focus on: 1) introduction of the main argument/findings presented in the paper 2) presentation their own reflection of the paper/ topic (what they consider as the most interesting, challenging or controversial part of the paper and its argument. What kind of inspiration this particular paper or topic can bring to our understanding of social inequalities…) and 3) stating three questions related to the topic of their presentation that will stimulate discussion in the class. The thoughtfulness of these question will be part of the assessment of presentation. Using power point presentation is recommended but nor required.
3) Written assignment addressing the topic of the presentation: 25 points Students are required to write a short essay, approx. 4-6 pages long (excluding references) on a topic of their presentation at seminars. The paper that was assigned as reading for the presentation/topic should serve as a starting point for the essay. However, students are expected to include other relevant resources (at least 3) to build their argument.
4) Final test - based on lectures and compulsory literature: 60 points To successfuly pass the couse all assignments have to be submitted and accepted. The organization of seminars will be specified depending on the number of students enrolled in the course. General course policies -all information regarding the course as well as reading materials are available in Moodle. All assignment will be submitted via Moodle. -inform me as soon as possible in case you have any difficulties reading the content of the course or participation at seminars. I understand that emergency situations or unexpected circumstances may happen. If some of these occur or you face any other difficulties regarding the course, let me know as soon as possible. If I’m not informed, I’m not able to look for possible solutions. -all assignment deadlines are firm. You are allowed to submit your written assignment later. However, for each day that a paper is late, the final grade will be lowered for 3 points. In case your paper does not meet the minimum standard expected for academic paper, you may be asked for revision. In that case the final grade of the paper will be automatically lowered for 10 points. -all students are responsible to follow the principles of academic integrity. Any form of plagiarism is unacceptable. Grading System 91 - 100 points: A 81 - 90 points: B 71 - 80 points: C 61 - 70 points: D 51 - 60 points: E less than 51 points: F
