Admission requirements
No special admission requirements. Same as admission requirements for the BA Art History/BA Arts, Media and Society.
This course has replaced the course *The Cultural Field in Practice * (2022-2023).
Description
This course brings together all BA3 students in the process of writing and publishing an academic journal. Students will select, critically evaluate, edit and format articles submitted by student peers and staff, and write their own book and exhibition reviews as well as interviews, the best of which are to be published in our new department journal. This will be done in collaboration with peer reviewers and an editorial board.
Through (guest) lectures and excursions students will become familiar with the history, nature and practice of academic publishing. Students will subsequently use this knowledge when collaborating on the publication of the journal itself.

Resit
The average of both exams must be at least a 5.5 (which is rounded off to a 6.0), in order to pass the course. Grades below 5.0 for either of the exams are not permitted. A grade between 5.0 and 5.5 for one of the exams can be compensated by the other grade. A grade below 5.0 always requires a resit.
In case one (or both) of the assignments receive a grade below 5, a resit is possible, in the form of an individual writing assignment. This resit is for the course as a whole and the grade for this assignment comes to replace the two partial grades of the other assignments. The resit grade is therefore automatically the final grade for the course.
Inspection and feedback
How and when an exam review will take place will be discussed in class. If a student requests a review within 30 days after publication of the exam results, an exam review will be organized.
