Winter Semester 25/26 Oral Exam Dates

General Information

If you plan on registering for a module exam or thesis project (B.A. or M.A.) with an instructor associated with the professorship for American Literature and Culture (JProf. Dr. Judith Rauscher), please keep in mind that you need to focus on North American literature and culture/the field of American Studies. This means that you must either choose literary and cultural texts produced by people coming from or residing in the United States and Canada (in some cases Mexico, the Caribbean or the Pacific) or literary and cultural texts produced elsewhere in the world dealing in important ways with the United States or Canada (in some cases with Mexico, the Caribbean, or the Pacific). If you want to do comparative work, at least half of your primary materials have to come from or engage with North America in significant ways.

Academic Accomodations

If you have a (learning) disability, a chronic illness, or care-taking responsibilities (for children or other family members) that may keep you from keeping the expected deadlines or from taking an exam in the form it is described here, please do not hesitate to approach your instructors about possible adjustments to the examination procedure. We firmly believe that students have to take responsibility for their studies, but if accommodations can be made to remove hurdles that would prevent your success, we will gladly provide them. For more information on academic accomodations, see here.
