Requirements to pass

 A) Attendance: You will either be required to attend a certain number of lectures (7 out of 10) or (in the
case of people who cannot make it, such as ISP students etc.) the lectures will
be recorded and you would need to hand in short assignments regarding those
lectures that you have watched  (again, at least 7 short assignments). These short assignments should be about 1 page long and answer the basic questions that will be asked in the specific part of the syllabus concerning the topic of the lecture. It is possible to combine these two options (i. e. 4 lectures attended and 3 assignments).

B) Assignment AYou will have to hand a written assignment (see the special part of the syllabus that will be updated on March 6; I will use the fact that two
Wednesdays in May are state holidays (hence no lectures), so that you can
dedicate the time that you would have spent on the lectures to the assignments. More information in the specific supchapter "assignment".

C) Midterm test There will be a (fairly easy) mid-term test to check, how much of the information get
through to you (online).

D) Discussion I will divide you into 9 groups of 4 or 5 and assign lecture topics (topics
2-10). Then, your responsibility would be to read the materials carefully and
prepare questions and arguments for the lecture (you do not need to write
anything down, just prepare and be ready). I will then have an in-class
discussion primarily with you. Just to be clear - everyone should read the
assigned texts and everyone should be prepared for discussion. But the "chosen
ones" should expect to carry most of the load. If you cannot attend the lecture, you should submit a short assignment where you answer the basic questions based on literature (see supra A).
