The main teaching methods of this course will be micro-lectures and focused discussions. Every class starts with an introductory micro-lecture by the instructor, then we will proceed with a presentation by one of the students followed by a discussion of the assigned literature. Whereas every enrolled student is obliged to do the required reading for every class (2-3 papers), a presenter should pick a source from further reading and elaborate on it in her presentation. Primary sources and documentaries are included in the scope of materials to the course. |
