One of the two Basismodule offered at the Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik focuses on English literature, the other one on American literature. Students only need to take (and successfully pass) one of these two courses to go on to an Aufbaumodul in English or in American literature in later semesters. |

| Leistungsnachweis |
Throughout the semester there are „Studienleistungen“ students will have to successfully complete and there will be a written exam (Klausur) at the end of the semester. Students are required to 1) attend a library tour that introduces students how to use the library's computer system and how access important research materials 2) compile a bibliography in MLA style. (The Modern Language Association of America <www.mla.org> defines the rules which govern the formal aspects of bibliographies in our discipline. Please note: We are still using the MLA 7th ed. At <https://style.mla.org> the latest version offers an update which is not relevant for us at this point.) It is strongly recommended students download their Studien- and Prüfungsordnungen. They can be found here: http://www.verwaltung.unihalle. de/KANZLER/ZGST/ABL/Abl_inh.htm Make sure you read and understand your PO/StO as they provide the legal framework for your studies. |
