Metody hodnocení
Students will read one article or chapter from course literature for each seminar and will take part at seminar discussions. If a student misses a seminar, then he or she must write a two-page critical reflection, in which he or she discusses two articles or chapters from the course literature on the topic of that seminar. At the end of the course the students will write a short paper in groups of three where they reflect on the course literature and consider what the information on attitudes implies for policymaking. If they were leaders of a country what policies would they suggest given the attitudes that exist. Students should discuss at least one article or chapter from each theme. The paper should be 4-5 A-4 pages, which means about 2000-2500 words.
