Assessment Elements
- In-class seminar participationFor each seminar topic, students are required to read at least two articles/chapters/books from the list of the recommended literature. Apart from the recommended titles and some more articles that could be provided by the instructor for any particular seminar, they are encouraged to read other materials relevant to the course’s general theme and topics. Substantial part of the relevant materials can be found in the web resources’ list below. Students are required not only attend lectures and seminars, but actively participate in discussions during seminars. The level of work activity at the seminar is assessed (questions to speakers, detailed comments, clarifications, additions), the use of scientific literature and sources when answering with links to specific works and data. Based on the results of each lesson, an average score is given for answers to the teacher's questions on a ten-point system. Points are subject to rounding arithmetically.
- Essay in the form of the PPT slides’ presentationStudents (in a group of two) are required to prepare a short analytical essay in the form of a PPT based presentation on the topic related to East Asia (see themes and issues of the lectures 4 – 6) and send them to the instructor three days after the lecture and seminar 6. Students should propose the essay’s subject/title on their own (though some variations of possible themes for essays would be proposed to them by the instructor before the start of lectures under topic 4).
- TestThe final test checks students' comprehension of the course assigned material will be taken at the end of the course study.
