Instructions:
Select two of the four articles in the folder below - the selection should reflect your interest in the topic or/and the method used there, and your availability for the
Moodle test devoted to your article (see below). Carefully review the article, focusing on the methodological choices made when researching the topic. You can use the guiding questions available in the attached document.
Your grasp of the methodology in the two assigned papers will be tested in the
Moodle tests, organized on the 13th and 14th of May. You will take two tests to check your grasp of the articles you select. (You do not need to confirm the selection anywhere; take the two corresponding tests.) Each test will have 12 multiple-choice questions (with one or more correct answers) and one open-ended question at the end. The time limit will be 30 minutes. The test will not allow going back to previous questions. The four tests will be organized according to this schedule:
- Tuesday, 13th of May, at 7 pm: Regina Heller (2018) More Rigor to Emotions
- Tuesday, 13th of May, at 8 pm: Huseyn Aliyev (2022): Social sanctions and violent mobilization
- Wednesday, 14th of May, at 8 am: Jakob Hauter (2023): Forensic conflict studies
- Wednesday, 14th of May, at 9 am: Roxanna Sjöstedt (2024): Socializing Warlord Democrats
Three things to emphasize:
- There are four tests available, but the expectation is that you will take just two (any of your choice). If you take more than two, the two highest scores count.
- It is not possible to go back in the test - only forward. A good plan is to take a maximum of 2 minutes per multiple-choice question. The remaining 6+ minutes will be enough to write the open-ended question at the end.
- You should start at the designated time to have a full 30 minutes for each test (there is a 2-minute leeway, though).
