The course combines lectures and seminar method. Seminars thematically develop the topics of lectures. Important part of the seminar is discussion of presented material or other assigned readings. Presentations: During the semester students have presentations based on seminar readings and/or additional materials. Presentations are oral and presented using the PowerPoint format (PPT). Note: Students of the Euroculture Program and other M.A. level students are required to write a (critical) book review of the assigned book. Students are expected to attend classes and seminars. More than three missed classes will automatically result in a failing grade. Students are responsible for reading the required assigned materials. Readings will serve as the basis for class discussions and student presentations. At times assigned readings may be supplemented with additional materials. For detailed information about the course requirements in given academic year please consult the syllabus for the actual semester which is available in the Moodle of the course in the beginning of each semester. |
