Additional teaching material will be sent to the students via USOS or is already available in the Internet (movies, Tedx lectures, manifestos). Contact with the lecturer will be possible via consultations or e-mail.
Small assignments (which may involve reading, listening to or viewing relevant sources before class, and preparing written summaries) will be set on a weekly basis. It is important that students should complete pre-class assignments, as this will be essential to effective participation in the relevant discussions.
