Requirements for Credits

• Question (Frage): Before each session, every student has to submit a question based on the reading material assigned to that session. The deadline for sending in the question is 12 p.m. on the day preceding the session (i.e., Wednesday midnight). Please send your questions to korbay @ coli.uni-sb.de with the Subject Dialog HS question for 1#1, e.g., ``Dialog HS question for 6.11.''.

• Presentation (Referat): Each student has to give a presentation at least once during the semester. The schedule of presentations will be decided at the beginning of the semester. Depending on the number of participants in the seminar, a presentation by one student can cover an entire session (60 min talk + 30 min discussion), or two students can share a session (30 min talk + 15 min discussion each).

  The presentation has to at least cover the reading assigned to the session, but should also include additional material based on the references given in the topic description and/or on the student's own research.

  An electronic version of slides has to be delivered before or after the presentation (by email or on disk). Acceptable formats are (in decreasing order of preference): PDF, Postscript, PowerPoint.

• Paper (Hausarbeit): Each student has to write a paper (in German or English) of approximately 15 pages of text on an agreed topic (it has to go beyond a summary of a single paper, and preferably it should contain own contribution from the student, such as critical discussion or evaluation). The deadline for delivering the papers is March 30 2004.
