Teaching methods
Classes consist of seminars. Attendance is compulsory. Each class begins with a short quiz on the required readings (see below). The professor will then give an introduction followed by a discussion based on specific readings and questions prepared by the students. The list of readings and questions for each week will be given to students during the first class.
Evaluation methods
Students are required to read each week from a portfolio of readings spread over 12 weeks. The reading portfolio can be downloaded from Moodle. Students will be quizzed on the readings at the start of the course without access to any source of information. Readings quiz, attendance and course participation will be worth 50% of the final mark.
An oral examination will take place during the examination session and will count for the remaining 50% of the final grade. The 30-minute oral examination will consist of two randomly selected questions. Each student will be given 10 minutes to prepare both answers.
Any use of AI is permitted, except for the quizzes at the beginning of each course and the oral exam, but at the student's own risk as regards the scientific quality of the information obtained. Replacing readings with a search for an AI-generated summary is highly risky in terms of the accuracy required for assessment.
