Course leader: Gordana Dodig-Crnkovic , gordana.dodig-crnkovic@mdh.se

Keeping Up

I expect you to visit the course web site regularly to see if changes have been made. Class attendance is compulsory. (80% presence is required for the course in total).

Lateness

Students who arrive late disturb the class, so please do your best to be on time.

Taking Lecture and Class Notes

A regular note taking is a learning- and examination form in this course. At the end of the course you are expected to send me a Word file with the complete class notes for the whole course, including class discussions, approximately five A4 pages for each one of three sections of the course [which makes about 15 pages in total]. Your class notes may include your critical reflections and comments, as well as the account of the most important ideas and arguments.

Doing Your Own Work

When you turn in an assignment, it is expected to be the result of your work. Do not copy anyone else's work or let anyone else copy yours. In contrast, working together to understand lecture material and problems is encouraged.

Late Assignments

No late assignments are accepted except under very unusual conditions. Those exceptions must be arranged  in advance unless associated with some extremely unpredictable event.

In-Class Activities

Class is divided in groups during bee-hive discussion meetings. You are supposed to actively take part in the discussions.

Grading

3, 4, 5.

Examination Forms

• Class notes (Compulsory. Together with class attendance 3 p)

• Research paper (Optional. Together with Mini-Conference 2p )

Environmental Policy

Please save paper and make two-sided print outs of the course material.

Equity Policy

Our commitment is to confront and eliminate discrimination whether by reason of gender, ability, race, religion, ethnic origin, creed, colour, social status, age, or sexual orientation.

Statement on Students with Disabilities

Students with a documented disability needing academic adjustments are advised to speak with me during the first two meetings of class.
