(tylko po angielsku) The Seminar is in a ‘participatory’ format, meaning that students are expected to actively participate in seminars, discussions, group work and individual input throughout the semester. We will be using flipped / jigsaw classroom, meaning that reading/preparatory materials will be assigned for each class, often ‘jigsawed’ so that groups of students read different articles, and then come prepared to class to share their knowledge, reflections and discussion points with those who have read different articles / materials.

The classes will run in a HyFlex ‘light’ fashion, taking into account the pandemic situation. This means that if a student is not able to come to class (ie because he/she/they are self-isolating, in quarantine), they may still continue in online/asynchronous format, as the outcome of discussions / feedback will be also online on the MS Teams platform. Therefore it is ‘hybrid’ and ‘flexible’ at the same time.
