Metody hodnocení

Activities, requirements, expectations and grading: 1) CLASS PARTICIPATION: Approximately 50 percent the class time will be dedicated to lectures, in which students are encouraged to interact, ask questions and contribute; the remaining 50 minutes will be dedicated to group discussions and practice, based on the reading materials for each class. The discussions (the seminar portion of the classes) will take on a variety of formats. Participation in the class means: contribution to the discussion, based on your weekly reading questions and the topics that arise, participation in group work, and individual presentations. To highlight the importance of participation in our classes, student participation in class discussion accounts for 25 percent of the final course grade. 2) READING, RESEARCH QUESTIONS (FROM WEEKLY LITERATURE OR WEEKLY PRACTICE TASKS): All of the classes are complemented by a list of literature (obligatory and supplementary). Students are required to prepare at least three discussion questions from the obligatory literature assigned for every class. It is expected that students will address critical and reflective questions on the reading materials and how they relate to the study of identity. The list of questions and reflections should be submitted online in the Homework Vaults in the IS (the link will be provided) not later than 9:00 PM the day before class. Based on the questions, we will develop and facilitate group discussion in each class, and they will also let me know that you have read the texts and fulfilled this requirement. The reading and the discussion questions account for another 18 percent of the final grade for the course. 3) PRACTICAL (INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP ASSIGNMENTS): Throughout the semester, students will receive assignments that will help them to better understand the theoretical material and gain practical skills in working with the concept of identity in sociology (27 percent in total). 4) FINAL EXAM: In-class. At the end of the semester, students will receive a written and oral assignment, the completion of which will prove that they have passed the course (30 percent in total). Exam will include writing the answers to 3 open questions on the topic of the course. The detailed instruction will be provided during the course. Grading: The final grade consists of: 1) class participation (25%) 2) weekly discussion questions (18%) 3) practical assignments during the course (27%) 4) final exam (30%) based on compulsory readings. The familiarity with these texts is necessary to pass the course. The students will be offered a list of questions, and will choose 3 of them and answer them in written form.
