个人论文（EUCOM）：

To complete the course, each student is required to compose one individual paper, which can be written in the form of an essay or university paper. The paper should have 3 main parts: a) Answer to the question “(How) did this class shift your perspective on East Europe and development of communism in the world (min. 500 characters), b) Discussion of your three key learnings from the course (min. 500 characters), c) a (referenced) review of your part of the group presentation (not the whole presentation, just the part you worked for – min. 1,000 characters), and a short discussion on the topic: (min. 1,500+ characters)
为了完成课程，每位学生需要撰写一篇个人论文，可以以论文或大学论文的形式书写。论文应包含三个主要部分：a) 回答问题“这门课如何改变了你对东欧及世界共产主义发展的看法”（至少 500 个字符），b) 讨论你在课程中学到的三个关键知识点（至少 500 个字符），c) 对你在小组展示中所负责部分的（有参考文献的）回顾（不是整个展示，仅限于你所负责的部分 - 至少 1000 个字符），以及对该主题的简短讨论：（至少 1500 个字符）:

Decisive moments in development of communism in Europe.
欧洲共产主义发展的决定性时刻。

In regard to the latter, a clear introduction and conclusion, as well as references and literature is required. References can be either included in the text within brackets or can appear in the form of footnotes/endnotes. References and literature do not count in the wordcount. Also, use the literature I provided (you are free to use other authors, but each paper must have at least 3 authors from the list of books I have sent at the beginning of the class, or from the list from the PPT of the very first class). Use clear argumentation. You can write in English or in Chinese.
关于后者，需要清晰的引言和结论，以及参考文献和文献资料。参考文献可以在文本中以括号形式包含，也可以以脚注/尾注的形式出现。参考文献和文献资料不计入字数。此外，使用我提供的文献（你可以自由使用其他作者的作品，但每篇论文必须至少有 3 位来自我在课堂开始时发送的书籍列表或第一堂课 PPT 列表的作者）。使用清晰的论证。你可以用英语或中文写作。

FINAL FRIENDLY REMINDER: I tolerate and appreciate different ideas, approaches, understandings, etc. Feel free to explore the topic and present it in your (scientifically based) style. Plagiarism of any kind, however, is not tolerated one bit. Do not copy paste text, do not take other people’s writings or ideas as your own. Use in-text references, footnotes, endnotes or whatever else you are comfortable with.
最终友好的提醒：我容忍并欣赏不同的想法、方法、理解等。请随意探索这个主题，并以你（基于科学的）风格呈现它。然而，任何形式的抄袭都是绝对不被容忍的。请不要复制粘贴文本，不要将他人的作品或想法当作自己的。使用文内引用、脚注、尾注或其他你觉得舒适的方式。

If there are any questions, let me know. Wish you “intelligence” because luck usually runs out fast.
如果有任何问题，请告诉我。祝你“智慧”，因为运气通常很快就会耗尽。
