1 Course Information and Reading List Please note the following: In case you need or want a grade for the course, the grade is determined as follows: - Participation in class: 30 % - Research paper: 70 % You will find all mandatory readings in the course platform in ILIAS before the course starts. For some texts, the relevant pages are a subset of the whole publication. Do not be confused when an article/book section is longer than is written here. In case you are interested in one of the topics, the texts listed under further readings are suggestions that should help you in digging deeper into the field. Texts are ordered chronologically, which generally is the best order to read them. When the order is not chronological, I recommend that you follow the suggested order. In general, about the first half of a session is dedicated to a methodological discussion of a specific issue. The second half is concerned with the application of what we have discussed before. For the practical parts of the course, you have to install the following two freely available software packages on your laptop: o fsqca 2.0 and QCA 3.0 are available at o Tosmana: The software and manuals can be found in ILIAS as well (folder Software ). You are expected to bring your laptop with you every week (except of the first three weeks). If you do not have a laptop, please approach me as soon as possible so as to organize one for each session. The datasets that we will use in class and the texts from which they were taken can be found in a separate folder in ILIAS in due time.
