REQUIREMENTS

• Class attendance/participation

Students are expected to attend every class; please do not schedule conflicting activities. Religious commitments and serious illness are ordinarily the only acceptable reasons for missing a class meeting. Please let the instructor know beforehand by e-mail if you are forced to miss a class. Members of the class are expected to participate actively in class discussions and to be fully prepared to do so every time.

• Assignments for each class
  
  Most meetings will be led (in shorter or longer segments) by members of the seminar based on assignments carried out beforehand in consultation with the instructor.
   
• Final paper and presentation
  
  The last meetings of the seminar will be devoted to presentations by members of the class. At the first meeting we will establish dates for the presentations. Presentations will be based on research papers circulated in advance to the members of the seminar. This means that completed papers need to be submitted in electronic form one week before the date of the presentation.

GRADING

There will be no examinations. The course grade will be based on presentations, participation and the final paper.
