Evaluation

3. PAPER GUIDELINES

In addition to the aforementioned guidelines, the paper will be shared in a dedicated section of glossaLAB platform. 

Depending on the type of paper chosen, it has to be structured as indicated below.  You can of course adapt the titles to your likes or subsume them under other sections. Any other section of your wish is very welcome.

2.1 Papers  of the first kind (analytical work)

(a) an ABSTRACT at the beginning, followed by SECTIONS that should cover the following aspects:

(b) Historical background; 

(c) The utopia regarding the information society; 

(d) Dystopical aspects. 

2.2 Papers of the second kind  (your own utopia)

(a) Your own utopian story;

(b) An epilogue in which you contrast your imagined utopia with historical utopias and dystopias.

2.3 General guidelines

1. Concerning the EXTENSION, the length of the texts of your contributions (entries) combined must contain at least 2500 words. 

2. The seminar works have to be edited in the glossaLAB platform. First, they can be kept within the "Draft" namespace (which is not indexed or found through the search engines) and after they are finished and reviewed they will be moved to the main namespace.  For the edition in glossaLAB, you have to use proper typos which are facilitated by the visual editor implemented and the edition tools provided:

   • Bibliographic references have to be introduced through the citation tool (in the edition toolbar) which is very easy to use. Imagine something you state is supported by a specific bibliographic document. At the end of the sentence, you click on the citation tool button. It opens up a small window to introduce the reference, in which you have to use APA style (remember that providing a link to a document or page is never enough as a bibliographic reference). It will automatically create the superindex link and list the reference with a link to the places where it's used at the bottom of the page.

   • Links to other glossaLAB articles, using the link button. It opens up a small window in which you start typing the name of the destination page and it will offer you the list of pages matching the text given, or as red linkage, showing that page doesn't exist (yet).

   • Epigraphs/titles of sections with the correct hierarchy.

   • Enumeration and item lists using the proper formats.

   • Figures using the add-image tool and including captions.

   • In case you wish to enter equations or computer code there are also tools that make it very easy.

3. The CITATION style is particularly relevant (pay attention to how it is referred to within the text, as referred to above, and how different types of documents are described in the Reference list which is created automatically by the system at the end of the page). This style corresponds to the quite globally accepted APA standard.

4. DEADLINE for submitting your seminar work or posting the Internet contribution: last Sunday of December (for the winter semester), first  Friday of June (for the summer semester), though it can be settled somehow differently according to the circumstances, check the deadline stated in the Moodle Postbox.

5. According to glossaLAB copyright policy, the texts to be published in the system require passing through a similarity analysis. To that purpose and for the evaluation records, you should also hand over the paper using the following POSTBOX. For this purpose, you can directly extract the PDF of your seminar work from glossaLAB (there's a button on the left-hand menu or ctr+p usually works as well) and upload it in the HM-Moodle POSTBOX for the seminar work (there you can also find the evaluation criteria), remembering to push the submit button.
