“Approaching Cultural Studies” Prüfungstermin (19.5. 2020).

You can start to download the exam at 11.15 a.m.
Apart from the exam (2 pages), I will include some additional notes where I provide a few explanations how the questions shall be answered ( - usually I explain my exams orally in class, before the exam starts). The first 15 mins are provided that you have time to read these explanations & instructions.
Official start of the exam is 11.30 a.m. and end at 13.00 (so 90 mins as usual)
Once you are finished with writing your exam you upload it on moodle (Aktivität “Aufgabe”) in the prescribed period of time (…. there are an extra 15 mins provided in the end, in case any problems occur …)

OPEN BOOK =
Open-book exams are sat remotely by students on their own – usually in their own homes. Students are able to access their textbooks, notes and other resources (… this is usually not the case). Although you will have the opportunity of looking in books and searching the web, the questions will be posed in a way that you will not have the time to do this to any great extent.
Some people worry that people who can type quickly will have an unfair advantage, but the examiners are interested in quality not quantity, and are not looking for longer essays than normal.
If you are hand-writing your answers, you will need to be able to scan or photograph pages for submission.

INFO ON THE EXAM:
Nothing changed concerning preparation & examination mode - i.e.:
-- Prepare with questionnaire I provided for WS 2019
-- Your exam will be conceptualized as usual for this course: there will be 6 questions (here I combine questions from the questionnaire). This means, each of these 6 questions will contain a few sub-questions which are meant to guide you through the answering-process.

ONE IMPORTANT CHANGE:
Due to the open-book format ALL QUESTIONS have to be answered in FULL SENTENCES!
(i.e. note-form is NOT accepted in this particular exam!!!)

Questions are to be answered in accordance with the amount of points, i.e. you write most for the question with the highest score of points. So consider first how many points you get for a question & conceptionalize your answer then accordingly.
In the info-sheet distributed with the exam you will find guidelines how long your answers should/can be in each case.
