Assessment is based on (a) active participation in the course, discussions, and seminars; (b) presentation and defence of a course paper; and (c) critical examination of at least one other course paper and active participation in the course examination sessions.
Course attendance is required for a student to be examined.

Student absences of more than 20% of the course sessions must be compensated via additional course assignments.
