Student information

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.

Students will be required to read relevant research papers before attending the seminars. In the seminars, regular and active participation in group discussions on case studies and issues related to lecture topics are also required.

The assessment is based on group presentations in the seminars and a final individual written essay.
As it is a J3 Seminar (not K3), the "Einzelleistung" CANNOT be graded with a mark.
