Assessment The final assessment consists of four parts: 1. Seminar attendance: two missed class without any official excuse is allowed; any other non-attendance has to be excused based on relevant grounds. 2. Short critical reflection of assigned texts: before each seminar, students are required to write a short critical reflection (one paragraph) on one of the assigned texts. Specifically, they should identify what they find most interesting or most problematic in the reading, which will then serve as a basis for seminar discussion. Students can obtain up to 2 points for each reflection. 3. Debate: students will be divided into two groups to debate whether justice is based on universal principles or is relative to particular societies. Each group will first present its arguments in a 10minute presentation, followed by an open debate in which all students are expected to participate. Students can obtain up to 10 points for this activity. 4. Final essay: during the final exam, students will analyze one particular topic discussed during lectures and seminars; students are required to write a coherent text with a comprehensible argument; students will have three hours to complete the exam; the exam will be evaluated by 0-20 points. Assessment Points A 50-48 B 47-44 C 43-40 D 39-35 E 34-30 F 29 and less
