in the fall semester 2020, I offer you a seminar about current ideas in what science think, that memory is and how memory is formed. We will discuss a couple of ideas with respect to their limits and facts we know so far. Here, you will also learn to collect information, how you will stand up for your ideas and findings, and how opposing positions might lead to new ideas and studies.

In the first of 5 appointments, I will explain the general structure of this seminar and I will also distribute the talks and responsibilities you will take over in each of the reamining appointments.

Due to administrative requirements, some new information:

The course will take place in attendance. The space made available meets the university-wide requirement of having twice the number of places as enrolled students.

In addition, the course is also offered as a livestream in case at least one of the subscribed students cannot be present in person.

Furthermore, all course-related information will be also provided on a Moodle page.

In this seminar, you´re going to "play" different roles within a session in groups of 5 people. In each session, you will prepare either a presentation within your group on the theory of the day or a counter-presentation. Another group will be responsible for organizing the schedule of the session (organizing breaks, leading the discussion...), and a fourth group will only discuss. The responsibilities will change in the following sessions, so that each of you had either a presentation or a counter-presentation, organized the schedule or just discussed.

In the end, you will be assessed individually in each of the four roles, and your final score will be the average of all of them. There will therefore be no final examination. 

Attendance is also compulsory for all 5 dates. The seminar is designed in such a way that, in addition to teaching memory theories, you will also be prepared for the various roles in an academic career. Therefore, there will be no possibility to do alternative work due to absence.
