Forwarded from Greger Henrisson at the Division for Environmental Strategies Research (FMS):
-----------------------------
In this seminar we will discuss the readings for the seminar with issues highlighted by you as our point of departure. You therefore have to bring discussion topics, printed on a sheet of paper, to the lecture. Don't forget to sign/print your name on the paper = proof of attendance at the seminar.
‘Discussion topics’ means a couple of questions or reflections in relation to ideas, messages or statements from at least two of the texts. You should write about 100-200 words (1/4 - 1/2 page of text). Your reflections and questions will be discussed during the seminar. And remember, don’t write a review – highlight issues you find intriguing.
The last 10 minutes of the seminar will be reserved for a ‘mini quiz’ regarding the readings for the previous lectures. This quiz will help us teachers see that all students can get a ‘pass’ on this part of course. The questions in the quiz will be based on those concepts in the readings that were highlighted by the lecturers.
