Examination Course examination consists of writing an essay of approximately 10 pages + 80% attendance at lectures and seminars. (If one misses more lectures and/or seminars, one will get an extra assignment.) Students are also expected to actively engage in the discussion during the seminars.. The essay should be approximately 10 pages long, written in English, in a neutral font (e.g. Times New Roman), size 12. The topic for your essay is free of choice, but it must engage with the course material. For BA and MA students, papers will be graded according to the normal scale AF. (For PhD students, the grade options are pass/fail.) Apart from the ability to correctly account for the arguments and the philosophical contents of the material under discussion, critical discussion of the material will be awarded. We want to encourage our student to reason with the material in a clear and independent way.
