(tylko po angielsku) There is no prerequisite.

(tylko po angielsku) The course will consist – first of all – of lectures complemented with discussions for which students are highly encouraged to read key and additional readings. The second element of the course will be focused on individual research and presentation to be done during the last course meetings (in the form of seminars). The subject of the individual research and – in consequence – of the presentation and essay must be previously discussed and accepted by the instructor.

The final decision on the amount of meetings dedicated to students presentations will depend on the amount of the course participants.

(tylko po angielsku) Assessment

As the course combines instructor’s lectures and subsequent discussions, individual research, oral presentation and written essay, the final grade will comprise all these elements respecting the following rule:

1) attendance of the lectures is not compulsory but highly recommended as active class participation makes up 5 % of the final mark;

2) active seminar participation makes up 5 % of the final mark; attendance of the seminars is obligatory - students must attend at least three sessions of student presentations (including the one in which they present).

3) 15-20 minute compulsory presentation on a chosen subject makes up to 40% of the final mark. Students are obliged to provide fellow students with hand-outs, may use power-point (not necessary) and are expected not to read but to present their argument(s). If two students prepare a joint presentation, its expected length is 25-30 minutes.

4) final paper will give up to 50 % of the final mark. Requirements for the final paper: 24,000 up to 27,000 characters (i.e. 13 up to standard 15 pages, character Times New Roman, size 12, interline 1,5). This amount of characters does not cover the bibliography! A joint essay (based on a joint presentation) is NOT possible. The text must respond to all academic standards (notes, references, citations and bibliography). Internet, academic (!!!) sources are welcome however neither the presentation nor the essay can be based only on this source. The essay may be either a written version of the previously done presentation or it may discuss another topic agreed upon with instructor. The assessment of this dissertation will be based on the originality of the student’s argument, analytical approach and reference to the literature. The essay must be submitted to the instructor’s pigeonhole in the CES administration office or sent to the address <krzysztof.kowalski9@gmail.com>.
