Prüfungsinhalt/e
Presentation and discussion of a text (oral)
The text presentation should include the following points: The presentation of the main argument of the text and the reflection.
In presenting the argument, do not simply create a summary following the structure of the text. Abstract from the text by developing your own structure:
- Define the main point of the text. This will be most evident in the introduction and abstract.
- Outline the literature in which the text is situated.
- Show how the text distinguishes itself from which literature.
- Work out the individual argumentation steps of the text
Such an abstraction of the text is necessary to develop your own perspective on the text. Upon reflection, assess the points previously elaborated:
- Do you agree with the relevance of the main point of the text and why/why not?
- Do you agree with the distinction from other literature? Is the gap where the text is going evident?
- Can you follow the individual steps of the argument? Are they comprehensible or are there gaps and questions?
- Ultimately, does the text live up to its claim?
- And what perspective does it offer on regional developments?
Further notes
- Quote from the text to make certain points clear
- Provide evidence for your arguments
- Reflect on other texts that have already been discussed or that you have read
Essay (written)
The essay should make an argument and discuss and advance it with the help of other literature. The basis should be the articles discussed in the seminar. At least five articles should be consulted for the essay. The essay may
- discuss the claims of one or different perspectives on an empirical issue, or
- Critique one perspective through another.
To do this, consider the following points:
- What is the point/argument/goal of the essay?
- What is the relevance of the argument (such as significance to regional developments, discussion of the scope of a concept)?
- On what literature is argument developed
o What articles support the argument?
o What other arguments/articles exist on the topic and what is their argument?
- What does the argument draw from the preceding literature discussion?
o What are the limitations of the argument?
o What are ambiguities?
o Where is there a need for research?
