Seminars: up to 16 hours.
In the case that less than five students register for a course, the organized teaching may be adapted to fit the number of students. If this occurs, students will be informed at the start of the semester, and before the registration deadline 1 February/1 September.
Compulsory Assignments and Attendance
Students must submit a 500-word draft of their term paper, attend supervision, follow guidelines, and meet deadlines set by the Department and the course instructor. The draft of the term paper must be submitted within the deadline set by the instructor and must be approved by the instructor. Drafts which are not approved may be revised and resubmitted once. Students have the right to supervision in working with the term paper. Supervision is obligatory. If supervision takes place over more than one session, students must attend all sessions. Supervision can be given individually or in groups. Students whose resubmitted drafts are not approved or who fail to meet any of the above requirements may not submit their term paper for assessment.
Compulsory assignments are valid for one semester following the semester of instruction.
Forms of Assessment
The exam in the course is a supervised term paper of around 4000 words (not including the bibliography etc.) Students must attend supervision and uphold the deadlines that are specified by the course instructor. Students who do not comply with these guidelines, lose to right to take the exam in the course.
In the re-take exam, the student, who has completed the compulsory supervision in the teaching semester, hands in the term paper without further supervision.
