Beurteilungskriterien/-maßstäbe

Attendance is obligatory at least 12 out of 14 seminars (1 seminar session = 90 minutes). Active participation in discussion and group work is mandatory.

Alternatively, in order to present a vivid potpourri of what Romanticism actually means to you in terms of its manifestations, you can hand in a multimedia PowerPoint file. Please, start this undertaking by carefully selecting your materials; then build up a collection of quotations or theses to accompany chosen illustrations from both historical and contemporary Romantic sources. Your material can also include clips from films, interviews, musical extracts, traditional cutting and pasting, and a range of artifacts that are to be arranged in a PowerPoint presentation, which you ideally could talk through and explain orally to an audience (similar to writing a term paper, your collection needs to have a structure !!).
