Description: Lectures: The content of the lectures is split into two forms. Compulsory reading from a textbook and in-class lectures provide an overview of British history and cultural history. Seminars: The seminar focuses on a selection of texts from British literature. Requirements: Lectures: Attendance of face-to-face lectures is not obligatory; however, it is strongly recommended for a successful completion of the course. There are two tests (a mid-term and a final) checking knowledge of the content of the in-class lectures and the assigned reading from the coursebook. These tests are written in-class, in the form of written tests combining multiple choice and open-ended questions. Seminar: Attendance is obligatory. One unexcused absence is allowed. Thorough familiarity of compulsory reading and active participation in classwork is a prerequisite for a successful completion of the course. Students write a mid-term and an end-term test in class and take an oral exam. The tests and the exam test their knowledge of the compulsory texts and their broader context; the students' language skills are also assessed. Seminars and lectures both have their e-learning courses with compulsory readings which students are required to access. Credits: The credit in the lecture part of the course is awarded on two conditions: 1) at least 70% score on average in the lecture tests; 2) active participation and regular attendance in the seminars. Only students who have successfully completed all of the seminar requirements (attendance, active participation, sufficient score in the mid-term and end-term test) and have earned their credit from the lectures may enroll for the oral exam with their seminar teacher.
