Oral presentations
Students must independently prepare lectures on selected texts from the week. These can be presented in different formats. 
Possible presentation formats are:
Live sketching
Demo with prototyping
Classic Slides presentation
etc.

The reading-based presentation should include a 2-pages written discussion, made available to the class and instructor via email three days prior to the day of the class to ensure a general discussion.
The paper should include title, author, date, context, summary, bibliography.
Additional sources can be added to inform the discussion if necessary.

The reading-based presentation should include answers to these questions: who are the authors? where do they work? what concepts do they propose? what year was the document published? what was the context at the time of publication? what are other contemporary theorists and practitioners perspectives on the authors proposal? what influence did the proposal have? what was your research process to go over your findings? how can you apply the proposed ideas in your design work or others' design work? how can you challenge the ideas presented? - The presentation should be around 25 min (if there are 2 presentations/class and less in case there are more presentations/class).

The project-based presentation should include at least 5 projects illustrating each topic, that are gender-balanced, from various countries of origin. Projects can be taken in design, art, ethnography, science and other disciplines. What 'taxonomy' can you provide to categorize the 5+ projects? How these 5+ projects help get a sense of the field that you're presenting? How do they relate to the topic of the week and the readings of that week? - The presentation should be around 10 min (max 15 min.).

Final Essay
The essay is a final 1500-words essay with a diversity of sources and bibliography (classified by genre: book, book chapter, journal article, conference article, academic thesis, newspaper article, web article, etc). 

The topic of the essay is chosen by the student in relation to a class assignment and proposed by Class 8 in half a written page explaining the topic and the questions at stake, and in the form of presentation (1mn1min) to the class. The final essay has to be submitted by Monday, December ( 9? still tbd).

The paper can be written in English or German.
