Term paper: Students conclude the seminar with a term paper of 2.500 to 3.000 words. The term paper is supposed to be the independent analysis of a self-chosen horror anthology. A reliance on theoretical knowledge on (horror) anthologies as derived from the seminar is expected to demonstrate the ability to portray analytical findings and a critical reflection upon them.
Students are generally expected to discuss an anthology not featured in the seminar’s main sessions and to rely on adequate secondary sources beyond the seminar syllabus. (Worth 50% of the final mark)
