Modular Period I
Preparatory Seminar
April 02nd to June 18th 2012
Preparatory seminar conducted online and coordinated by Daniela Ingruber and Fabian Mayr.
During the online seminar of the first Modular Period students will be
familiarized with the program's approach to Peace Studies and will gain
methodological tools needed for academic writing.
At the beginning
of the module, the students will receive a course outline as well as the
guidelines to conclude it successfully. The first Modular Period is
divided into sections which last two weeks each. In every section there
will be a research question to be answered and a chat will be open for
consultations with the Professor. By the end of each section a paper
between three and five pages has to be sent punctually to the Professor
via Email. Each paper has to follow academic standards and formal
structures. Together those papers will comprise a term paper of 25-30
pages. Each term paper will be discussed in the second Modular Period
and for this reason the timely completion of the assigned tasks is
important. Only students who comply with the deadlines will be admitted
into the presence phase (Modules II-V).
Students admitted to the summer term 2012 will be contacted by the course professor at the beginning of the course.
The Program reserves the right to changes in schedules.
