Examination

At the end of the course students are assessed on the basis of their participation in the workshop and an oral presentation. The film exercises made throughout the course form the basis for the presentation and a discussion in which the student will be requested to reflect on issues of methodology, visual anthropological theory, and representation in relation to their own film material. Students are assessed on:

• The development of their skills in using a video camera to generate anthropological insights

• Their ability to think clearly about what is important to film

• Their ability to reflect on methodological, theoretical and representational issues of relevance to their filmic material

Students will be graded on a pass only basis based on the academic regulations under the auspices of the Board of Studies for the Department of Anthropology, Archaeology and Linguistics.

Attendance at all classes and completion of the practical exercises is compulsory and students are expected to participate actively in discussions. A set of readings will be distributed to all participants in good time before the course. These readings will form the basis of some of the class discussions.

Full participation in the course and a successfull oral presentation will attract 10 ECTS.
