Элементы контроля

Seminar participation
This will be assessed on the basis of regular class attendance and contribution to seminar discussions. The frequency and quality of questions and comments on other students' presentations will also be taken into account. Each seminar will be graded on a scale of 0 to 10. The arithmetic average of the seminars (rounding) will be used to calculate the grade for the component.
Exam
A student can be exempted from the exam on the lecturer's decision. If this is the case the grade for the course is grade point average for other forms of assessment. If not, the student is given 1 question and has 40 minutes to answer it.
Group presentation
At the beginning of the seminars, students give a presentation on the topic. Presentations should be no longer than 20 minutes (in the case of more interactive formats additional time may be negotiated with the instructor in advance). 10 minutes are allocated for discussion of the presentation and questions. Students are strongly encouraged to introduce single or comparative case studies to illustrate the topic of their presentation, use additional academic and expert literature and statistical data, apply all types of suitable software to engage with the audience and bring additional questions for the Q&A part of the exercise.
