Course Design
At the beginning of the lecture, the lecturer introduces the students to specific topics and gives a short summary of important persons in the history of economic thought with emphasis on the respective historical context. To prepare themselves the students read one or several text passages or chapters of classics in the history of economic thought.
In general, the course design tries to provide ample space for discussion with the goal of comparing different points of view. Finally, it should motivate the students to elaborate proper arguments on their own and to gain experiences in the presentation of content and their own opinions.
Grades are given based on the students’ active participation as well as their presentation in groups (40 %) and an essay (60%). Bonus points may be achieved via the submission of summaries discussing the content of the class, the texts discussed and eventual presentations.
