Requirements for getting 7,5 ECTS for
successful participation at the IP are the followings.
The IP is a five-week
course including fifteen-days preparation, ten days work in Uppsala and ten-days
for writing a paper on a given subject. The preparatory work starts in January.
By the end of March the students’ papers
must be submitted.
During the fifteen days of preparation the students read the articles
included in the Readings. On the basis of the articles in
the Readings, each student formulates one question for discussion
on each topic, i.e. Early history of the European Turks,
Typology of Turkish, Turkic in the Black Sea area, Turkish
varieties in Anatolia and the Balkan, Turkic in the Caucasian
area, Crimean Tatar, Turkish in Western and Northern Europe,
Turkic languages and cultures in the Mediterranean, Peripheral
European Turkic languages and cultures, Turkic in the Volga
area, Modernization of Turkish literature. These questions
have to be submitted to me <eva.csato@lingfil.uu.se> latest
by 10 February.
During the IP in Uppsala the students participate each day in the whole
program and contribute actively to the discussions and exercises.
During the course they choose a topic for their paper in
agreement with one of the teachers. This teacher should not
be the teacher of the home university. The paper will be
5-8 pages long including introduction, topic to discuss,
earlier approaches, discussion, results, summary and references.
The papers will be evaluated by the chosen teacher who reports
to the teacher at the home university. The ECTS grading scale will be
applied. Students will get their credits registered at the home university.
