Преподавательское

yudkevich — 07.09.2010 Лето кончилось а я не то что не сошел с ума, но даже и не устал за лето, поэтому сейчас начнутся посты про курсы, учебу, шпаргалки и всякие иные академические вещи.

Кстати, из-за постов про тучки, облачка, озера и китайцев куча народу вынесла меня из своих френдлент и я их понимаю, и примерно столько же добавило.

Итак, про преподавание:
новость первая - очень приятно сообщить, что весь октябрь в Высшей школе экономики проведет профессор университета Джорджа Мейсона Джон Най (John Nye). В частности, Джон будет вести интенсивный курс-исследовательский семинар Graduate Workshop in Institutions and History.

Если честно, то я заранее предвкушаю это большое удовольствие.

До 20 сентября открыта запись на участие в курсе.
Курс предназначен для магистров и аспирантов.
длительность курса - 30 аудиторных часов + интенсивная подготовка к занятиям.
но, поверьте, оно того стоит.

для предварительной записи на курс необходимо прислать CV и двухстраничное описание (на английском!) исследовательского проекта по адресу yudkevich at hse.ru до 20 сентября.

This will be a course in writing and presenting work in economic history and institutions with a special emphasis on Powerpoint presentations. We will be reading a mix of classic and recently published works with a special emphasis on historical research that illuminates important debates in institutional economics. We may add or delete readings as the class progresses.

You will be expected to present and discuss at least two of these papers and also to present your own research ideas at the end of the course. Each class, a number of papers will be assigned. Two students will be required to make parallel and independent 15 minute Powerpoint presentations for each paper. The paper will then be discussed by the whole class with the student presenters having special responsibility for answering questions about the material.
