REQUIREMENTS:

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

The final grade will be based on four exams and additional assignments. Exams will consist of different sections (including essay questions) especially designed for the type of material, which will be covered during class meetings.  In order to pass these exams it is necessary to attend lectures and to read the required material. Since the amount of information to which students will be exposed is significant, review sessions are planned after the last session before each exam, after the regular class period. The most important information, names, terms, definitions, etc., can be found in the notes prepared by the instructor in order to structure the learning process in the most effective way.

GRADUATE STUDENTS

In addition to the requirements listed above, graduate students are required to write an additional research paper of ca. 20 pages (plus bibliography). Each topic must be discussed with the instructor first and at the end of the semester each graduate student might be asked to present a brief summary of his or her research to the class.
