CLASS PRESENTATIONS:

During several classes, there are groups of maximum 6 students each who will present a course topic in more depth. A list of the different course topics is available on Canvas, where students can enroll them in a particular group. The presentations focus on one course topic each, and include a practical example of “social psychology in everyday life”. A practical example can be a case, a newspaper article, a tv-show, a character (or part of a scene) of a series or movie, and so on. This practical example will be critically discussed against the theoretical courses, and/or against (at least one) recent scientific article(s) about the topic. Based on the recent literature, the presentation also includes a recent finding about that topic that was not addressed during the theoretical courses.

A report of about 5 pages will be written on the presentation. Clear and logical language and reasoning is part of the evaluation. The report should be submitted in English, using correct and fluent language.

To give sufficient time to write the report, you hand it in no later than four weeks after the presentation of the demo (and at the latest at the start of the exams) in an electronic version. If the deadline is on a holiday, then move the deadline to the next working day. This report will be part of the exam (for everyone).
