Student Assessment
Description
There is no final exam for this course. Students are evaluated on the basis of fulfilling in-class tasks (10%) and on successfully writing two papers: one shorter (1.500 words, a literature review = 30%) than the other (3.000 words; = 50%). Students will have to choose from a list of topics given by the instructor or suggest one of their own interest. They will also have to present (powerpoint) in class the outline of the second paper (research) (10%). The late submission of papers results in penalisation while plagiarism results in automatic failure.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
