Kursbeschreibung / -kommentar

This introductory course is offered to students of the first semester in order to familiarize them with basic concepts and techniques of literary/cultural studies. The realm of subjects will thus be a wide one, including fundamental knowledge of and analytical tools for the genres of poetry, drama and fiction, or a survey of literary and cultural theory.
The course will be accompanied by a tutorial which will familiarize students on a practical level with what has been discussed in the course. The course is obligatory; as are course quizzes and a final test in form of an 'In-Class'-exam at the end of the term, which will certify the obligatory participation.
