| 1. Seminar participation (each seminar).
Active participation is required. By active participation I mean both your willingness to participate and your ability to contribute to the discussion at any time you are asked to do so, which means to get the maximum you are to be ready with every question and discussion topic suggested. Languages: English (preferable). Russian is also allowed, if you present a piece of information from a book / article in Russian.
2. Reports (essays). Choose one of the topics suggested and write a three-or-four-page essay. Your essay should have an introduction to present the problem to be discussed, the main body consisting of several well-developed and properly organized paragraphs and a conclusion summarizing the ideas described. A list of references is also a MUST (see my list below for typography (оформление списка литературы). The Internet is allowed but do not overuse it. Plagiarism will be harshly punished. Your essay is due on 28 February, 2014.
