I am offering two courses and I will be running this poll to see if there are enough individuals to make a class and therefore run a course.
Courses available
Method and Theory in the study of Religion (Religious Science)
Religion in the Viking Age
Course plan and study material:
- Academic artcles in PDF format available online
- 10 week course, with 9 modules/topics and an essay
- Weekly or bi-weekly reading followed by a seminar/group discussion where each student presents a review of their reading where we then discuss it and ask questions.
- Apart from reading, each module will culminate in a simple short test made up of roughly ten questions that ask the meaning to specific terms such as "what is meant by the word pantheon?" answers will sent to me via PM. These tests are to check if students have digested certain unique terms.
- Students would conclude the course with a project essay with a title and theme of their own choosing.
My personal qualifications:
Degree in Religion and a degree in Scandinavian Studies which includes Nordic languages, Nordic archaeology, Sami religion and culture. I am currently doing two Masters one in Religion in Sweden, another in Nordic Studies. I have worked in the past as an English language consultant for the business world such as Volvo and Astra Zeneca helping them with presentations and customer service management.
