Please note that instead of the regular class on 13 November, we will have a double class at Kolingasse 14-16 together with the Department of Sociology (chuchotage in research interviews).

On 18 October at 11:30pm, there will be an introductory meeting for a joint project with legal translation (Mag. Scheidl) and subtitling (Mag. Fraller) on the film "Voices Uprising" (more information will be provided during our first class). If you are interested in participating in other parts of the project, you can sign up to one or both of their classes as well.

If you do not attend the first lesson without giving a good reason in advance, you will be de-registered from the course and your place will be given to the next person on the waiting list. If you are on the waiting list or registered during the second registration phase, I recommend attending the first lesson.
If you wish to de-register from this course, please do so by 31 March at the latest. After this time, it will not be possible for you to leave the course.
Continuous assessment of course work. If you miss more than two classes (with good reason), you will receive a semester grade of 5.
