Description
The first year of standard Bachelor programmes mainly consists of lectures with a tutorial set-up. To supplement these classes, the Honours College track Archaeology offers students the opportunity to meet faculty staff and other archaeologists in top positions in Dutch archaeology and related disciplines.
In this tutorial, consisting of 7 guest lectures, current items and issues in archaeology are addressed. The lectures consist of a 45-minute introductory lecture followed by a 45-minute discussion on the subject. Each lecturer will present his/her own current research and describe how he/she came up with the subject.
The lecture ends in a group context with an academic poster about one of the subjects addressed. In addition, the participating students spend at least 1 day at the Reuvensdagen congress. They then write a report about this visit.
