The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.

Participation in the mandatory first meeting during the How-to-English week in April (exact time, date, and place to be announced). Here we will assign topics for the papers.
The papers have to be submitted to me be by the end of June 2019.
Studienleistung: Every student is expected to write a ~3 page paper on a topic assigned by me (students may, of course, voice preferences) and present it in class as experts. I also expect regular attendance and active participation. If you don't know whether you want to take the class or are unsure about the actual workload, come to the first meeting in April and decide then.
