Students are expected to have read and familiarized themselves with all the readings to individual seminars and prepare the answers to given questions (send the answers by e-mail day before seminar, i.e. Monday 12:00, and bring the printed version to the class).

Each student is expected once during the semester to prepare a set of additional questions or comments, to send them on Monday by 12:00 to [e-mail] and to be prepared to moderate the discussion in the class for app. 10 minutes on a particular topic.
