Course structure
Teaching format
The teaching will be based on lectures and seminars in the form of workshops in which the methods are applied.
Due to the current situation with the corona pandemic, all teaching will be held online via pre-recorded lectures and live sessions or seminars on Zoom at a given date and time, with the lecturer(s) and students in attendance. Several sessions will require preparatory work consisting of readings or other preparations (see the Schedule, below, and Plans at the course website in Athena for detailed information on every session, e.g., readings, preparatory work, instructions, and links). We will use the software QSR NVivo and it is very important that you install the program on your own computer before Session 2 (NVivo software) on Friday January 29th. Further instructions are published at the Athena course site.Online attendance and active participation in the seminars are mandatory. In case of absence, the student will be given compensatory assignments to be submitted via Athena.
The course will be taught in English.
