Vorgehen: There is a list of required readings that all students need to prepare for each session. We begin each session with a 15-minute presentation on the week’s topic, prepared by students. The main part of the session is a guided discussion in small groups followed by a plenary. For the small group work, we will use pro/contra discussions or case study work where this is promising. The course teacher will make sure all important aspects of the week’s topic are covered and give additional input where needed. All course materials will be available online (required reading, presentation slides, instructions for exam papers). |

Leistungsnachweis |
A) Studienleistungen (unbenotet): Mandatory course tasks (required to pass): All students need to study the required reading in advance of each weekly session and should be able to summarise the main insights upon request. All students need to pick a date for a required presentation. For these selected dates, students are expected to prepare a 15-minute-presentation on the topic chosen drawing on a presentation software like Powerpoint. Moreover, students are asked to develop a task for small-group work (to last 15-25 minutes). This could be a role game, a case study to discuss based on a suitable newspaper article, that allows a transfer of theoretical concepts to practical cases. Students have to send a draft of the presentation slides and the preliminary ideas for the small group work at least one week before the presentation date and receive feedback where needed. B) Prüfungsart: (mode of examination): essay (Hausarbeit) Bewertungsschema: benotet (RPO) (marked) Umfang: In order to enhance your teamwork skills, I ask you to submit essays in teams of two. For teams of two, the word count is min.4500-max.5000 words (without counting references). If for a particular reason, you cannot engage in teamwork, please contact me.
