Assessment and permitted materials
Grading scheme:
The grading scheme is based on a total of 100 points. These points will be awarded in relation to students’ performance in meeting the course learning aims in the different obligatory tasks.
The maximum number of points to be acquired for each task is:
Reading responses: 40 points, assessed individually
Presentation: 25 points, assessed as group work
Blog posts: 25 points, assessed individually
Active participation in the class : 10 points, assessed individually
A minimum of 50 points is necessary to successfully complete the course. Failure to meet the attendance regulations, to deliver course assignments on time or to adhere to standards of academic work may result in a deduction of points.
Important Grading Information:
If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme and the attendance regulations must be met. If a required task is not fulfilled, e.g. a required assignment is not handed in or if the student does not meet the attendance requirements, 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. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate this in a timely manner, and to provide relevant evidence to their claims if necessary. Whether this exception applies is decided by the vice-director of studies responsible for the master programme.
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'. Self-plagiarism, particularly re-using own work handed in for other courses, will be treated likewise.

consists of an important and multifaceted field of investigation for social scientists. Here,
science and technology studies approaches, like Actor Network Theory, have gained an
increased meaning. This socio-material understanding of the city has lead to an interest in the various ways associations between human and non-human actors are formed, negotiated and stabilized through diverse and situated practices and to the analytic concept of urban assemblages.
This approach challenges the traditional notion of the city as a stable and bounded entity by
saying that the city is rather made of multiple partially localized accumulations of
heterogeneous networks, spaces, and practices.
In this class, we will have a closer look to such networks, spaces and practices, by using the
example of specific, recently concluded urban regeneration projects in the city of Vienna. Based on practical exercises at these sites, that include the method of conflict mapping, we will study the various ways associations between human and non-human actors are formed, negotiated and stabilized through diverse and situated practices. A specific focus will lie on participatory approaches of involving citizens in the planning process and on >travelling concepts<, meaning ideas, like e.g. >the smart city< that migrate, shape and are being shaped by specific spaces, networks and practices.
