Thanks for posting, Kilian. Glad to hear you got back to Belgium safely!
You're correct to assume that we will have to make the seminar presentations into written assignments now. I'll then provide some feedback through this forum.
In terms of the required format, both of the first two assignments have a similar style. There are at least three acceptable ways of approaching it.
1. You could copy the texts into Word and highlight the matters of concern and matters of authority (using different colours), and then use the comment facility to explain your reasoning.
2. You could present the results of your work in tables containing the phrases you think indicate matters of concern in one column and the phrases indicating matters of authority in a second column.
3. You could give a summary in a few paragraphs.
If you've chosen assignment 1, you should also explain briefly how you found and why you chose the reaction(s) to Macron's text.
The deadlines still apply - they are the dates when we would have had the next two classes, 30 March for assignment 1 and 1 April for assignment 2. If anyone wants to do one of these and needs more time in the circumstances, let me know. I'm sure we can be flexible, but once I've posted feedback in the forum it would be unfair to allow more submissions.
I'll be announcing the topics for seminars 3 and 4 later on in the course, as they will be connected to the later topics.
The titles for the final paper are in this
Moodle module - see the Final exam section.
