Assessment Elements
- Final examFinal exam (E) is performed in the form of open-ended questions that have to be answered in a written form at a certain date. Two out of four questions have to be answered within 90 minutes. The tasks and supervision will be in the online mode (via zoom platform) in line with the MA Program Regulations, Appendix 12.
- Home assignmentHome assignment (HA) A written task (obligatory or voluntary) is prepared within three to four days after the announcement of the topic. HA are to be submitted by the beginning of the seminar following the lecture at which the task was announced. Each student is asked to submit two HAs during the course: one prepared as individual assignment (a mini-essay of 2,000 words) and one group assignment prepared together with fellow students - a case study (a presentation of maximum 20 slides). The size of such groups are determined by students themselves. One student can additionally submit no more than three HA during the course on voluntary basis (two highest grades are taken into consideration for final grade calculation) in the form of mini-essay or case-study around 1,000 words following the topics that were provided. HA (if not mentioned specifically) should include: a short introduction (why the issue matters); a reasoned (evidence-based) written reply to the question asked; a short conclusion (the main finding).
- Interactive lecturesLectures are designed to provide background knowledge, theoretical concepts, methodological, as well as to give a global and cross-country perspectives. The lectures are mixed with seminars that will allow for discussion of the material with students and tackling real-life case-studies. They are aimed at sharing participant’s reflections on the approaches introduced at lectures and in the literature and developing the applied competences listed above.
