CREDITS will be given to students for their attendance (up to 2 missed classes will be toleratated), active participation in seminar discussions (i.e., based on thorough home analyses of the given text samples), for successful presentation of their own sample analysis and adequate standard of their seminar paper.

Each student will hold their floor once per semester – distributing a week ïn advance their own sample for analysis, conducting their own linguistic interpretation/comprehensive analysis in class (the time limit will be specified), inviting others to participate actively, seeking their further comments and feedback. To complete the course successfully, at the latest a week before taking the written exam students have to turn in their comprehensive sample analysis in writing, taking the form of a seminar project meeting all the content and formal criteria. The project, which is at least three pages in length, is submitted in hard copy as well as electronically. If the content and/or form are not satisfactory, students may resubmit the paper once.
