1. Syllabus, Reading List and Schedule

Syllabus & Required Reading: Course Requirements, Leraning Outcomes, Required and Optional Reading for the course.

  • There is a  Facebook group called "Kurslitteratur Humanisten Göteborg" where students kan exchange/buy/sell course literature.

Schedule: Apart from the course seminars, two mandatory research seminars are also integrated in the schedule. 

 

2. Course Registration

Before the course starts, students who are accepted for the course will receive an email from the student office with information about how to complete their registration. Information about registration can also be accessed on the Student Portal. 

Once you are registered for the course and your account is activated, you will be able to log in on Canvas (top left) and get access to all of the course information that is only available to the students taking the course. Most of this information can be found by clicking on “Modules” in the left menu.

 

3. Forms of Course Examination

The course will be assessed through a Home exam where you will write an academic paper about a specific topic following good academic practice. You will need to upload your Home exam in the correct “Assignment” folder by the deadline you have been given.

 

4. Student Counselling, Study Support and Online Studies:

Study Counselling – Guidance and Support (Links to an external site.)

If you are entitled to pedagogical support because of a disability, you should get in touch with the Coordinators for Study Support as soon as you have been accepted for the course.

  1. Questions that concern individual courses or classes:
    • Contact the individual teacher for the class you have questions about – usually your seminar teacher.
    • If your question concerns a specific module more generally, contact the module convenor.
    • If your question concerns more general issues about the whole 30 credit course, its design, content and set-up, contact the course convenor.

You will find the names and contact details of all the teachers and convenors in the Module “General Information about the Course.”

  1. For questions that concern registration, study certificates, credit transcripts, log-in details, etc., please contact the student office / 031-786 18 18

  2. For questions about exam registration, or the need for specific support while taking exams, please contact the exams office. For more information, please go to the website.

  3. If you need specific support in relation to your studies, or your need to discuss how best to manage your studies, or if you have questions about what to study next, or need to know about how to get some of your previous studies’ credits transferred, please contact your student counsellor.

  4. NB: If you are registered for the course but decide to drop out, you should contact the Student Office as soon as possible to do a so-called “early cancellation”. The easiest way to do this is to send an email to studentexpeditionen@sprak.gu.se in which you provide your name, social security number and the code for the course you are registered to.

       Why should you do an “early cancellation”?

    • Students who are registered for the course without taking any credits affect our statistics in a negative way. This affects the Department’s budget and in turn our ability to offer quality teaching and education.
    • It is also beneficial to you since, if you inform the Student Office that you will not take part in the course as planned this term, you will have the right to apply for the course again next time it is offered.
    • One of the students who is on the waiting list will also be able to take advantage of the newly available spot.
