MIEPP News

Dear MIEPP students,

As promised, the seminars are finally ready to be announced. You will find the list of seminars, incl. seminar descriptions, attached to this e-mail.

-> -> Seminars SuSe 2022 <- <-

For those of you not familiar with the process of choosing a seminar (others can skip to the timeline below), the registration for seminars is not done via Jogustine but by e-mail (you also do not have to do anything in Jogustine after sending the registration e-mail).

To register for a seminar, please write an email to me (MIEPP AT uni-mainz.de) including your name, matriculation number, specialization, and a ranking of all of the available seminars, including the instructors name, according to your preferences (highest preference 1, lowest preference 10). I will then place you into the seminars while keeping your preferences and specializations in mind as much as possible. If, due to your specialization, you have to take a seminar in a certain area (i.e., you are in international economics student and already have taken a public policy seminar), please also mention that in your email. In the same way, if you want to take two seminars, please include this information as well.

Some useful remarks, you should keep in mind when registering:  

• If you only rank one or two seminars, I will simply assume that all the other seminars are of equal utility to you below the ranked ones. Choice 3 is still high on the list so you might be placed anywhere. It will in no way guarantee that you receive one of the seminars listed.
• If you want to write your master thesis at a chair, you can mention it in the email to me, but it will also not guarantee you a spot in the seminar.
• This is not a first come, first serve procedure, I will look at all the preferences at the end of the time period and try to get everyone situated as well as possible.
• Simply because you have a certain specialization, does not mean that you have to take both seminars in this area. In fact, it is very likely that one of the two seminars is not in your specialization area.  

Registration will start today, February 10 and end Thursday, March 10. This should give all of you enough time to tell me your preferences.

Sincerely,

Daniela Maier
