Assessment and permitted materials
To fulfill the requirements of this Reading Seminar, you will be expected to:
- Regularly attend
- actively participate
- read the required reading for each seminar and be prepared to actively engage in group discussions on the theories, concepts, themes and perspectives raised in the readings
- Give (brief) presentations on the required readings during seminar sessions
- Complete a (short) essay on a question of your choosing relating to the themes of the Reading Seminar (12 500 characters); to be handed in by email on the day of the last seminar session.Beyond these requirements, it is recommended that you read widely, using the Further Reading list provided at the beginning of the Reading Seminar as a basis to do so.Important Grading Information
If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme must be met.
If a required task is not fulfilled, this will be considered as a discontinuation of the course. In that case, the course will be graded as ‘fail’ (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfill the task on the student's side (e.g. a longer illness).
In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading.
Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer.
If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as ‘not assessed’ and will be entered into the electronic exam record as ‘fraudulently obtained’.
The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading: Details will be announced by the lecturer.
