I have to kindly ask you to NOT attend the kick-off class if you are not (yet) registered for the course, so that distancing rules and room capacities can be met. Any additional administrative information regarding the course will be announced on Moodle.

In the course assessment a plagiarism software (Turnitin on Moodle) may be used: details will be provided by the lecturer.In case of a Corona lockdown lectures will be changed to online meetings on Collaborate.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The minimum requirement for students to obtain a positive grade is their oral contribution in the discussions in at least two of the seminars and the positive completion of the final written exam. A good grade is not automatically and solely linked to the frequency of the contributions but primarily to their quality. The oral contributions will be recorded and graded on an ongoing basis. After each seminar the lecturer will provide feedback on the contributions recorded via Moodle. Grading schemes regarding oral contributions and written exam will be discussed in the kick-off class.Furthermore, please be aware that attendance in the seminars is mandatory. More than one unexcused absence will result in a negative grade.
