Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

* Three learning diary entries (200-400 words each), two library "visits" incl. uploads, individual and group online activities for each session in Moodle/Zoom (written and/or oral).
* The "tour" of the English and American Studies Library will take place virtually. Depending on circumstances and the university’s library policies in December/January, there may be some optional guided tours on site for those who are interested instead of working through the virtual resources, but places on these cannot be guaranteed.
* Your "visit" to another library will probably take place virtually, although a physical visit may be possible depending on the library’s policies in December/January.
