Tutorial Work: Tutorials are forums for free exchange and discussion of informed opinions, that is, ideas and thoughts based on reading and reflection, as well as places for raising questions and for the exchange of relevant information. All students are expected to have read the required readings in preparation for the tutorials. Tutorials will be assessed on the basis of the depth of knowledge on the weekly topic, the quality of engagement with the weekly readings and other materials, and the attitude displayed towards the arguments and contributions of others. Tutorial work includes the submission and discussion of news items on weekly topics. This activity will be assessed separately according to guidelines that will be provided in the first tutorial, in Week 1.

Minor Essay: The minor essay is designed to assess the student’s understanding of the dominant conceptions of citizenship (i.e. liberal and republican) and of the two main aspects of citizenship (i.e. membership and rights+duties).

Students can formulate their own question (with the tutor’s approval) or select one the following options:
        1. In defence of Liberal Citizenship (vs Republican Citizenship)
        2. In defence of Republican Citizenship (vs Liberal Citizenship)
        3. A report on the current state of citizenship in Country-Of-Choice.
