Weitere Informationen zu den Prüfungsleistungen:
- The course is designed as a research seminar
- A seminar is NOT a lecture!
- By contrast, it is an interactive format of learning which relies crucially on and, most of all, starts with students’ own academic inputs, but also on their regular attendance and active participation.
- Active participation in this seminar is only possible, however, if students have sound knowledge of applied microeconomics and adequate understanding of (open economy) macroeconomics. Moreover, students will have read at least one of the recommended readings for each seminar topic as well as all presentations slides before (!) these are presented in the seminar sessions.
- Presentation topics will be assigned during the introductory meeting on September 27th, 2019 (13:30-19:00). Attendance is therefore strongly recommended.
- Students will then give a detailed 20 - 30 minute presentation of their assigned topic in the plenary sessions (first block: Friday, November 8th until Saturday, November 9th 2019; second block: Friday, November 22th until Saturday, November 23st, 2019).
- After the presentations – which will not be marked -, their contents will be critically discussed by the lecturer and fellow students alike. This discussion will inter alia address, and correct, any factual, theoretical and/or empirical shortcomings which may have become apparent during the presentations. The objective is to provide students with adequate feedback to assist them in successfully completing the seminar.
- Two to three weeks after the last session block, students will have to sit for a 90 minute written exam. It will cover all seminar topics.
