The resulting texts and presentations must comply with the format and referencing of sources.

Participation in the classes is monitored via presence lists and consultations of presentation drafts and seminar papers are required. Approximately one week before the presentation in the seminar, students must consult the concept of the presentation and the understanding of assigned texts and topics. Consultations of seminar paper drafts will occur in the second half of the semester. Students are expected to participate actively in the classes and discussions. Absences are compensated via self-study.
