Teilnehmende | Students of English will have to pass a Basismodul Literaturwissenschaft before they can take an Aufbau-modul Literaturwissenschaft. 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. |
Voraussetzungen |
Students are expected to attend classes regularly. Please, make sure you do not miss more than two classes. (There will be a list of attendance that students will have to sign each week.) Moreover, students are expected to read ca. 15 pages per week (usually in English) and complete tasks on a weekly basis to fulfil the FSQ requirements. This class will be accompanied by a tutorial (1 SWS) once a week in which students will find support offered by an experienced student. Students must attend one of the following tutorials each week as they cannot get credit for this 3 SWS class if they fail to do so. The tutorials offered for this class are taught by Juliane Völker. - Tutorial AmLit 1: Monday, 6 - 7 p.m. – AKS 35, SR 2 - Tutorial AmLit 2: Monday, 7 - 8 p.m. – AKS 35, SR 2 - Tutorial AmLit 3: Thursday, 6 - 7 p.m. – AKS 35, SR 3 Students will be able to choose their tutorial through StudIP a week before classes start. |
Lernorganisation | This seminar will be large. As a result there will be lecture-style teaching. |
Leistungsnachweis |
There are Studienleistungen students will have to successfully complete and there will be a final written exam (Klausur) at the end of the semester. The Studienleistungen require students to do 1) a library tour that demonstrates how to use the library's computer system and how to get your hands on the books 2) a compilation of 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.uni-halle.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. |
