As Englisch Lehramt transitions from the BA/MA system to the Staatsexamen, American Studies Leipzig will offer both American Studies Lehramt modules *-1401 and *-2401 in both the Fall Term of 2014/15 and the Summer Term of 2015. In both semesters, the modules will be offered with limited capacity, and you are accordingly asked to enroll this term already if your schedule permits.

The Institute Secretariat will remain closed until Monday, 2 June, due to illness.

Unfortunately, my office hours on April, 28th will have to be canceled. I apologize for the inconvenience.

The repeat exams for Literature and Culture I are as follows:

• Lecture: Friday, 9. May 2014 in GWZ 2 5.16
• Take Home:
  • handed out: 19. April
  • due: 4. May

If you need to repeat the take home, please be sure to contact your seminar instructor well ahead of 19 April to make sure to receive a copy of the new task sheet.

Dear students,

my office hours on July 3rd will have to be moved to 6pm. Apologies for that.

Best,
S. Herrmann
