what this course is about
This is course for students from the 6th semesters onwards. We will either have invited speakers or we'll discuss recent papers in psycholinguistics.

prerequisites
None, except that the students have to be at least from the 6th semester.

grading
Grading will be based on the grades of homework assignments and class discussions.
Grading will be based on class presentations. Final scores will be based on the following mapping described in the Studienordnung: 95-100%=1,0 (A);90-94=1,3 (A-);85-89=1,7 (B+);80-84=2,0 (B);75-79=2,3 (B-);70-74=2,7 (C+);65-69=3,0 (C);60-64=3,3 (C-);55-59=3,7 (D+);50-54=4,0 (D);45-49=5,0 (F). If a student's score falls between the cracks, it will be treated as falling in the higher bin. The EMCL group has a different grading scheme; if there are any EMCL students in the class I will adjust the grades to match their Studienordnung.
Students who need a Schein are expected to attend class regularly. If a class is missed, the student is responsible for finding out what the assignment was, what readings were assigned, and what material was covered.
