The evaluation of this course is based on an essay of 1200 to 1500 words in which the student reflects on the following questions (by taking inspiration from the required reading):
1) Why should we as historians study the past today and what is your individual motivation to do so?;
2) To what extent is the historical method unique or not? What makes it scientific or not? And what are its limitations?

The required essay in order to pass this course can be submitted four times a year, according to the following deadlines: 15.9., 15.11., 15.1., 15.3. or 15.5.2024.
