Due to the nature of the class, attending class is of high value. It is highly recommended that you attend more than 70% of the lessons (missing up to 2-3 lessons is fine). If this isn't possible because of specific impediments, please let the instructor know and we will find a solution together (additional tasks might be required).

The seminar aims at giving students a critical perspective on the current studies about money and time management in Psychology, Behavioral Economics and Economics. After an overview of the fundamentals of critical research analysis and bibliographic research, students will work in groups on a presentation covering a topic of time and money management. Money and time management will be treated under a cognitive and behavioral psychological perspective.
