| Art/Form | Seminar |
| Voraussetzungen | Students who have successfully passed their "Introduction to Literary Studies” (Basismodul Einführung in die englische und amerikanische Literaturwissenschaft) are welcome to this course on Female American Playwrights of the Twentieth Century. |
| Lernorganisation | In order for students to pick up some skills necessary in academia, we will spend some time on how to do research and presentations as well as on how to write papers. The university library (OPAC, MLA-IB and other databases) will be a topic as will be the Internet as a research tool (JStor, Google Scholar etc.). In addition, there will be an introduction to CITAVI and how to use that bibliographical tool. |
| Leistungsnachweis |
Students will need to pass several quizzes if they want credit for this seminar. Quizzes are tests checking on whether students have read the plays. Please, do not miss more than three sessions. (The legal view on Anwesenheitspflicht is preposterous as it ignores the fact that we practice speaking and arguing in English in our seminars.) All students are expected to participate actively in discussions. Also, students must present in class (20 mins. plus discussion) on a topic to be arranged with the lecturer. It must be accompanied by a handout (Thesenpapier). Please, send your handout to the lecturer a week before your presentation is due. A copy of the reviewed handout must be available to all students on the day of presentation. Reading assignments (secondary literature) will be given on a weekly basis. Studying in groups is encouraged. At the end of the semester BA students will have to write an essay/Hausarbeit (ca. 12-14 pages) whereas students planning to be teachers will have to take an oral exam of 30 mins. (probably in July). The BA essays are due at the end of September. |
