Assessment methods
Students are expected to attend class regularly, to read the required readings, to participate actively in the class discussions and to prepare a presentation. Grading is based on presentation (30 points), discussion and class participation (20 points), final exam (50 points).

Presentation in the class
Each student will prepare a presentation in the class. Course instructor will distribute papers for presentation to students at the first seminar. Presentation will be 10-15 minutes and explain the main findings of the selected paper. Student shall send slides 24 hours before the presentation (at the latest) to the course instructor for the review. Students are welcome to support findings with an experience from their home country. In the very last slide of presentation, students will formulate two multiple choice questions with the list of four possible answers. To receive full points from presentation student shall clearly explain the research question explored in the paper and present the main findings to other students. The quality (and difficulty) of two test questions prepared by a student will be evaluated as well.

Final examination
Final exam is organized in the last week of semester at the class. The only way to pass the exam is to attend the class on exam date. The exam will include multiple choice questions from topics covered during semester. About 30% of questions in the test will be adopted from students' presentations. Cheating will not be tolerated and student will be ordered to leave the exam room on any sign of cheating with zero points awarded from exam.

The offense of academic misconduct includes (not exclusively) the representation of the work of others as one’s own, including plagiarizing the ideas or words of another without proper attribution to the source of those ideas or words, whether intentional or not, or submitting work that have been previously submitted elsewhere.
