LV-Beschreibung
Intendierte Lernergebnisse
It is the aim of this course to help students understand the development of British literatures, from their very beginnings until today. A familiarity with influential authors and texts, as well as the ability to critically contextualise them, is the basis for all subsequent literary classes.
After the Survey, students will be well equipped to work with British literatures, as they understand connections between authors, texts, and society.

Prüfungsinformationen
Prüfungsmethode/n
On campus, open-book digital multiple choice exam (SPU):
Students are free to use any handwritten or printed materials and sources they wish to bring to the exam, but mobile devices (phones, tablets, smart watches...) will be collected at the beginning, so students cannot use the internet.
An individual exam of 20 fully randomised multiple choice questions will be put together automatically for each student.
Students have a maximum of 45min to submit their filled in exam. It will be submitted automatically when exam time expires.
The final grade depends directly on the number of correct answers:
19 to 20 correct = 1A (First Grade)
17 to 18 correct = 2B (Upper Second Grade)
13 to 16 correct = 3C (Lower Second Grade)
11 to 12 correct = 4D (Pass Grade)
00 to 10 correct = 5F (Fail Grade)
Registration for a specific exam sitting via ZEUS is compulsory. Students who fail to sign up in the system beforehand cannot participate in a sitting.
Exam dates: Sitting 1 on July 02; Sitting 2 in Week 39, Sitting 3 in Week 41 (precise dates TBA).
Prüfungsinhalt/e
Only material discussed in class will ever be part of the exam.
Beurteilungskriterien/-maßstäbe
Exam questions ask students to reproduce information from the lecture and to make connections, contextualise, and critically reflect upon information.
The use of AI support or AI-generated text is prohibited in all of my courses!
In order to check whether this ban is respected, there is the possibility of a compulsory, individual, and oral follow-up defence of submitted or presented work. Should the use of AI be detected in any assignment, or a follow-up defence not be sufficient, the task concerned will automatically receive a fail-grade and your violation will be reported to university leadership, just as is the case with any other form of academic dishonesty or cheating.
