03.09.2010Ivo Spira  Friday 12.15-14 Gr.room 6 Georg Sverdrups Building  Introduction  There will be a historical introduction to the topic and we will discuss practical arrangements for the work of the group. 
17.09.2010Ivo Spira  Friday 12.15-14 Gr.room 6 Georg Sverdrups Building   Questions & Focus  We should decide on the main questions you will be concentrating on in the writing assignment. Each student shall prepare a set of questions or hypotheses that s/he is interested in and considers relevant to the topic.

It is essential that you have familiarized yourself with the works on the reading list by this date. You should also have read the chapters in Brockey's book.

 

22.10.2010Ivo Spira  Friday 12.15-14 Gr.room 6 Georg Sverdrups Building  Discussion of Readings & Outline  By this date an outline of the written assignment should be ready. We discuss the outline and how to develop it into a proper draft.

We discuss your readings and consider among other things the two reviews of Spence's study of Matteo Ricci. Are the reviews fair? Do you agree? 

12.11.2010Ivo Spira  Friday 12.15-14 Gr.room 6 Georg Sverdrups Building  Discussion of Draft  We discuss in detail the complete draft which should now be ready on the wiki and consider how it can best be developed towards a final form.
