Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will be held exclusively in the English language. Discussions, oral presentations and written papers are to be in English only.
The course deals with the history of independent Ireland (Irish Free State, Eire, Republic of Ireland) from 1922 to accession to the EU in 1973. The first of the 4-5 introductory sessions by the lecturer will begin with a brief summary of Irish history up to 1800. He will later offer a detailed overview of Irish society and politics since 1900, and finally, a summary in German. In this initial phase students will choose the subjects of their oral/written contributions.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students are expected to offer a 20-30 minute long oral presentation (preferably with images, and/or with Power Point) and to distribute a page with the main points of their talk to all present. The written paper will consist of ten pages, including title cover and literature, typed in one-and-one- half spacing. Footnotes are obligatory. At least four English-language books must be consulted. The lecturer expects students to provide an excuse (via e-mail) for non-attendance. The final mark awarded is based on:
attendance 10%; participation in discussion 10%; oral contribution 30%; written essay 50%.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students should attain a good grasp of contemporary Irish history and be prepared to deal in detail with one of the themes on offer. They will also have an opportunity to improve their spoken and written English, and to participate in discussion in a foreign language. They should make use of the lecturers Sprechstunde in planning their oral and written contributions, to make enquiries about the literature or to satisfy any enquiries they might have.

Examination topics

The lecturer will time the pace of the introductory sessions according to the students level of comprehension. DVD, speeches and music/songs will also be used to illustrate the period or events under discussion.
