Dear participants in our seminar,

due to the corona virus we will have to rely on e-learning for the rest of the semester. Teaching in presence will not be possible in this term. I still have hoped that at least one very last session might be possible in physical presence – which now will not be the case. This will change our plans in the following way:
According to our schedule many of you have already uploaded their presentations. As you can see, all of the presentations have been corrected by me. You can access the commented versions under “dropbox presentation”. Please read the notes and implement them in the elaboration of your final paper.
For the rest of the seminar we will change our schedule: I would like to ask those who have not uploaded their papers yet, to do so until 14th of June. This will give me the opportunity to correct the last presentations in the time after. Then, on Thursday, 25th of June, 16:45-18:15 o’clock (the scheduled time of our seminar), we will have a Jitsi-Online Seminar Session to discuss all of your remaining questions (concerning all the topics of the seminar, the writing of the final seminar paper, the notes I have put in your presentation, etc …). The access to the Jitsi session will be given via Moodle, all relevant information will be sent to you at the beginning of June. Please make sure that you will be online in the mentioned time-slot in your home office.
The deadline for the upload of your final seminar papers will be 09/30/2020, 11:55 p.m. The submission must be in a coherent file in PDF format. Please upload your final paper via Moodle onto “Drop box seminar paper”.
All good wishes and keep healthy and safe in these times!
Markus Tiwald

Reading list

Dear participants in our seminar,
Due to coronavirus our seminar sessions will be cancelled until 4.4.2020. Instead, we will have to switch to e-leaning. Given the fact that the access to our library is no longer is possible (neither for teachers nor for students), literature has to be provided online. According to the actual Copyright Law (Urheberrechts-Novelle 2015) the University of Vienna permits to upload literature necessary for the respective seminar via Moodle under the following conditions:
• You are only allowed to use this literature for this seminar.
• You must not pass on this literature to other persons. Especially an upload to internet platforms (e.g., Facebook, Clouds, etc.) is strictly forbidden and infringes copyright laws. If you do so, you will be hold responsible and may be persecuted by the law.
• It is strictly forbidden to pass on your login in data for Moodle, u:space, or e-mail to other persons.
Please observe these rules thoroughly.
Best wishes, Markus Tiwald
