RULES – PASSING THE COURSE

We will meet on MS Teams.

During the course, you should be present online (1), be active by taking part in discussions about them (2), and prepare small workshops in groups (3).

1. PRESENCE. Two points for every meeting.

2. TEXTS AND DISCUSSIONS. Every week we will discuss the text. You may use the text and your notes. Your activity (speaking or on chat) is worth 4 points. However, you need to understand the text. You should read it carefully at home and try to understand it. It is also beneficial to make notes. You are advised to have texts with you during classes. The texts will be available on MS Teams.

3. ONLINE WORKSHOPS. Students are most active from classes number 5 to classes number 9. You work in pairs or groups. At least one person from the group should visit me at least a week before your workshop to discuss your ideas and plans.

The task:

- you prepare the set of exercises (a workshop) for the whole group about the chosen topic,

- these exercises should take between 40 and 50 minutes,

- please remember that 1) you need time to explain the exercise and 2) divide people into groups, 3) they need time to understand the task and 4) to discuss it, 5) they need time to do the exercise, 6) you need time to check the answers, and 7) summarize the exercise. 40-50 minutes is not a lot of time.

- you should prepare at least 2 (longer) or at most 4 (shorter) exercises,

- exercises should present the topic of classes (theoretical concepts) and make other students understand it,

- literature presented at the end of the course schedule must be used to prepare exercises,

- you should also use other scientific sources,

- there is a wide range of exercises that you can apply during classes: an online quiz, charades, a taboo game, a story, a crossword, a speech, an experiment; an analysis of a text, a movie, a music video, pictures, photos, video games; an oxford debate, painting protest banners, etc. We will find a way to make it work online.

- each exercise must be of a different type (you should not repeat them),

- you may divide the whole group into small groups, e.g., to talk about a specific topic on private chats while still being at our video-conference,

- students should interact with each other during exercises, preferably in pairs or small groups.

Workshop - assessment criteria (max. 50 points):

a) For the incentive – 2 points,

b) Number of exercises (between 2 and 4) – 2 points,

c) Time management (40-50 minutes) – 4 points, too short or too long – 0 points,

d) Different types of exercises – 2 points,

e) Information presented: correctness – 5 points,

f) Types of exercises: originality/creativity – 5 points,

g) Content of exercises: originality/creativity – 5 points,

h) Workshop’s summary (.doc and .pdf) – 25 points

Send me only ONE FILE with all information you want to present (.doc or similar). You do not have to use PowerPoint, but if you do, include all information in the .doc file (photos and links too).

The summary should have two parts:

FIRST PART - DESCRIPTION:

- all exercises should be listed and described in detail – 1 point,

- using references in every description – 2 points,

- to the list of literature (listed at the end of the course schedule) – 1 point,

- at least one theoretical concept should be ascribed to each exercise - 7 points [e.g., the exercise 1: a) the title of the exercise (drag queen/drag king performance), b) detailed description (goals of the exercise, the type of the exercise, detailed information about students’ tasks, results of the exercise), c) the theoretical concept: gender performativity (Butler 1999: 55-60)), d) the definition of the concept, e) references],

SECOND PART – LITERATURE:

- literature used must be scientific in at least 80% (scientific books, scientific articles, conference drafts, scientific documentaries, scientific reports, public scientific data – e.g., European Social Survey, professional encyclopedias – e.g., Encyclopedia of Sociology, scientific lectures available online – e.g., lectures on the London School of Economics website). Wikipedia is not accepted. I strongly advise using Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.pl/) and “Multiwyszukiwarka” (here: http://opac.bu.umk.pl/webpac-bin/B_horizonPL/wgbroker.exe?new+-access+top; left up corner, you should be logged on your NCU account) – 5 points,

- literature used should also contain all other non-scientific sources (e.g., movies from TEDx, Instagram photos, bills, prose fiction, press articles) – you should include all the sources you used – 1 point,

- you should use at least 8 sources – 2 points,

- at least 3 of them should come from the course schedule – 2 points,

- at least 3 of them should be other scientific sources found by you – 2 points,

- prepare the complete list of literature: all sources should be included – 1 point,

- the order of the list of literature should be alphabetical – 1 point,

- exercises’ summary without literature – 0 points for the whole workshop.

At the end of the exercises’ summary, you should inform me how the group work was divided (e.g., Ana 30%, Tom 20%, Sasha 50% or a detailed description of your work).

You must send me the exercises’ summary in .doc and .pdf max. on Monday (3 pm.) before classes. Each day of being late – minus 5 points. I will check it and suggest changes. It will for sure give you extra points.

4. You will get points individually; each person should speak. Do not be afraid of your English skills - our classes are for you to practice. I do not teach English, and the English language is only a tool here. You are allowed to use notes while speaking, but you should not read.

5. If you are absent during classes for which you should have prepared a workshop, you will not pass the course.

6. You are the authors of your workshop’s summaries. Please, remember you should prepare the literature list and references (including sources of photos presented). If you cite or describe someone else’s work, please use references. If you are unsure how to do it, write to me or visit my consultations BEFORE the workshop.

7. Any kind of plagiarism (intentional or unintentional) will result in not passing the course. The dean of our faculty and the disciplinary commission of the University will also be informed. Cheating (copying) is also forbidden.

ADDITIONAL RULES

1. Please let me know – as soon as possible – if there are any circumstances under which you cannot take part in classes. Specifically, if you or people you live with are sick on Covid-19 or are in quarantine.

2. Each person attending classes has the right to refuse to take part in an exercise. It does not have to be explained but needs to be clearly communicated.

3. You should turn on your camera and microphone when I check your presence.

RULES – PASSING THE COURSE

During the course, you should be present online (1), be active, especially by taking part in discussions about texts (2), and prepare a workshop in a pair/group (3).

1. PRESENCE. Two points for every meeting.

2. TEXTS AND DISCUSSIONS. Every week we will discuss the text. You may use the text and your notes. Your activity (speaking or on chat) is worth 4 points. However, you need to understand the text. You should read it carefully at home and try to understand it. It is also beneficial to take notes. You are advised to have texts with you during classes. The texts will be available on MS Teams.

3. ONLINE WORKSHOPS. Students are most active from classes number 5 to classes number 10. You work in pairs or groups. At least one person from the group should visit me at least a week before your workshop to discuss your ideas and plans.

The task:

- you prepare the set of exercises (a workshop) for the whole group about the chosen topic,

- these exercises should take between 40 and 50 minutes (I will stop you after 50 minutes),

- please remember that 1) you need time to explain the exercise and 2) divide people into groups, 3) they need time to understand the task and 4) to discuss it, 5) they need time to do the exercise, 6) you need time to check the answers, and 7) summarize the exercise. 40-50 minutes is not a lot of time.

- you should prepare 2 (long) or 3 (short) exercises,

- exercises should present the topic of classes (theoretical concepts) and make other students understand it,

- you do not have to present all concepts from the topic, you can choose some of them,

- literature presented at the end of the course schedule must be used to prepare exercises,

- you should also use other scientific sources,

- there is a wide range of exercises that you can apply during classes: an online quiz, charades, a taboo game, a story, a crossword, a speech, an experiment; an analysis of a text, a movie, a music video, pictures, photos, video games; an oxford debate, painting protest banners, etc. We will find a way to make it work online.

- each exercise must be of a different type (you should not repeat them),

- you may divide the whole group into small groups, e.g., to talk about a specific topic on private chats while still being at our video-conference,

- students must interact with each other during exercises, preferably in pairs or small groups.

Workshop - assessment criteria (max. 50 points):

a) For the incentive – 2 points,

b) Time management (40-50 minutes) – 4 points, too long – 0 points, too short – not accepted,

c) Different types of exercises – 2 points,

d) Information presented: correctness – 5 points,

e) Types of exercises: originality/creativity – 5 points,

f) Content of exercises: originality/creativity – 5 points,

g) Workshop’s summary (.doc) – 25 points

Send me only ONE FILE with all information you want to present (.doc or similar). You do not have to use PowerPoint, but if you do, include all information in the .doc file (photos and links too).

The summary should have two parts:

FIRST PART - DESCRIPTION:

- all exercises should be listed and described in detail – 1 point,

- using references in every description – 2 points,

- to the list of literature (listed at the end of the summary) – 1 point,

- at least one theoretical concept should be ascribed to each exercise - 7 points [e.g., the exercise 1: a) the title of the exercise (drag queen/drag king performance), b) detailed description (goals of the exercise, the type of the exercise, detailed information about students’ tasks, results of the exercise), c) the theoretical concept: gender performativity (Butler 1999: 55-60)), d) the definition of the concept, e) references],

SECOND PART – LITERATURE:

- literature used must be scientific in at least 80% (scientific books, scientific articles, conference drafts, scientific documentaries, scientific reports, public scientific data – e.g., European Social Survey, professional encyclopedias – e.g., Encyclopedia of Sociology, scientific lectures available online – e.g., lectures on the London School of Economics website). Wikipedia and Cambridge Dictionary are not accepted. I strongly advise using Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.pl/) – 5 points,

- literature used should also contain all other non-scientific sources (e.g., movies from TEDx, Instagram photos, bills, prose fiction, press articles) – you should include all the sources you used – 1 point,

- you should use at least 8 sources (at most 11) – 2 points,

- at least 3 of them should come from the course schedule – 2 points,

- at least 3 of them should be other scientific sources found by you – 2 points,

- prepare the complete list of literature: all sources should be included; in the bibliography you may include only the sources you directly used during the workshop – 1 point,

- the order of the list of literature should be alphabetical – 1 point,

- quality of the bibliography [well-organized, structured, including all necessary information - Internet sources "need" references too (the author, the year, the title, the link, the date of access] – 2 points,

- exercises’ summary without literature – 0 points for the whole workshop.

At the end of the exercises’ summary, you should inform me how the group work was divided (e.g., Ana 30%, Tom 20%, Sasha 50% or a detailed description of your work).

You must send me the exercises’ summary in .doc max. on Monday (3 pm.) before classes. Each day of being late – minus 5 points. I will check it and suggest changes. It will for sure give you extra points.

4. You will get points individually; each person must speak. Do not be afraid of your English skills - our classes are for you to practice. I do not teach English, and the English language is only a tool here. You are allowed to use notes while speaking, but you should not read.

5. If you are absent during classes for which you should have prepared a workshop, you will not pass the course.

6. You are the authors of your workshop’s summaries. Please, remember you should prepare the literature list and references (including sources of photos presented). If you cite or describe someone else’s work, please use references. If you are unsure how to do it, write to me or visit my consultations BEFORE the workshop.

7. Any kind of plagiarism (intentional or unintentional) will result in not passing the course. The dean of our faculty and the disciplinary commission of the University will also be informed. Cheating (copying) is also forbidden.

ADDITIONAL RULES
