This class is geared toward students in all “Lehramt” degrees according to LPO 2003 who are planning to take a written or oral “Staatsexamen” test in American literature or in American culture.
Apart from reviewing the major periods in American literature as well as a variety of cultural key concepts and topics in American civilization (through lectures and short readings) we will discuss past exams as well as test-taking strategies. We will also draft thesis statements and outlines for a wide range of topics. This will course be a combination of “repetitorium” and exam practice. |
