Examination topics

Beyond the lecture content, independent in-depth reading on individual topics is expected. Slides will be provided for independent review. A comprehensive Moodle course provides reading suggestions for certain focal points and classical texts.

Take-home exam (70%) and oral exam (30%). Questions on core texts from different sessions will be distributed at the end of the semester. There is one week to write an elaborated thesis paper (1-2 pages). This relates to a topic from the lecture, includes additional reading, and serves as the basis for the oral exam.
