1.5 KiB
No university course without formalities. We keep it simple and adaptable to your specific circumstances but we are required to demand a certain amount of work from you to be able to award the ECTS (25 hours = 1ECTS).
Credit points (ECTS)
The course consists of lectures, group work, and plenary discussions. To ensure sufficient engagement with the course’s content, to enable peer-learning, and to encourage networking across disciplines, physical attendance is mandatory and no digital alternatives for participation are provided. We are aware of the fact that PhD students are busy people and will therefore grant shorter leaves of absence. In case you cannot attend a lecture, please contact the course responsible (thomas.berker@ntnu.no) with a very brief description why you cannot participate.
To pass the course, you need to attend the lectures, present a paper at the course conference, and deliver a course assignment text.
The deadline for the course assignment is August 31st, 2025.
The course is taught in two variants, KULT8851 and KULT8850. The variants are identical except that KULT8851 demands a longer assignment text (4000-5000 words) than KULT8850 (500-1000 words).
Required readings
Required readings are described in the course program. All the literature is accessible online or is made available to the participants on this site. The readings that are marked as 'essential' must be read before the lectures. Please make sure to prepare some comments/questions.
