University of Kent at Canterbury UNIVERSITY OF KENT – CODE OF PRACTICE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE MODULE SPECIFICATION 1 The title of the module: Varieties of German Writing 2 The Department responsible for management of the module: SECL 3 The Start Date of the Module: The module has been running for a long time. 4 The number of students expected to take the module: between 15 and 20 take this module each year. 5 Modules to be withdrawn on the introduction of this proposed module and consultation with other relevant Departments and Faculties regarding the withdrawal: n/a. 6 The level of the module: C. 7 The number of credits which the module represents: 15 8 Which term(s) the module is [to be] taught in (or other teaching pattern): Lent. 9 Prerequisite and co-requisite modules: None. Post-A level reading competence in German is a requirement, however. 10 The programmes of study to which the module contributes: German – available to all other programmes within the Humanities and beyond as an option. 11 The intended subject-specific learning outcomes and, as appropriate, their relationship to programme learning outcomes: Students who complete this module will: have gained experience in reading short narrative texts, poems, plays written between 1760 and 1945 or viewing films in German made during or relating to the period, thus increasing their passive vocabularies in German and enhancing their ability to navigate their way through quite complex linguistic material, even if they have never previously attempted to do this in their studies; have knowledge of some different genres of writing in German and of the social or political context as appropriate. 12 The intended generic learning outcomes and, as appropriate, their relationship to programme learning outcomes: Students who complete this module will have: further developed some basic study skills, such as note-taking, independent preparation of material for discussion or informal presentation in seminars, as well as formulation of written arguments and summaries in structured essays, as appropriate for the second term of study. Tasks for seminars will be shared among small groups who will report back to the main seminar group, thus building team-work and problem-solving skills. With its sister module taught in the Michaelmas Term, ‘Images of Germany, 1945-2000’, ‘Varieties of German Writing’ provides a foundation on which to build written and oral communication skills and the ability to undertake independent research. 13 A synopsis of the curriculum: Writing in German over this long period shows much variety and in the ten taught weeks of this module students are introduced to some representative examples of it, including lyric poetry, narrative poetry, drama, the novella, short story and films. Most of the material has some social or historical content and thus conveys some sense of life as lived in the period or of major historical upheavals or cultural developments, such as cultural repression during the Vormärz or political engagement in the inter-war period. 14 Indicative Reading List: Poems by Goethe and Schiller; stories by Hebel; Büchner, Leonce und Lena; Heine, Deutschland: Ein Wintermärchen; Grillparzer, Der arme Spielmann; Herzog, Alle für sich oder Gott gegen alle; Kafka, Das Urteil; Brecht, Der gute Mensch von Sezuan; Lang, M. oder die Stadt ihren Mörder. 15 Learning and Teaching Methods, including the nature and number of contact hours and the total study hours which will be expected of students, and how these relate to achievement of the intended learning outcomes: One weekly lecture (one hour) and one weekly seminar (two hours) with essay-writing weeks in weeks 6 and 12. The total study hours will be a notional 120, which students will need to invest in order to read the texts and the critical literature on the texts and to prepare work for assessment. Once the reading for a particular week is done students will be in a position to contribute to seminar discussion, usually by preparing as part of a small team an episode or an aspect suggested by the seminar UNIVERSITY OF KENT – CODE OF PRACTICE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE leader. This will enhance verbal communication skills, team work, and problem solving. Preparation of essays will be improve written skills. 16 Assessment methods and how these relate to testing achievement of the intended learning outcomes: two essays written in weeks 6 and 12 are worth 10% each and cover two single topics only. These test the achievement of learning outcomes through assessment of: argument; summary skills; comprehension of the text or film in question; ability to quote material appropriately in German. An examination in the summer term assesses ability to retain ideas and information and reproduce them in response to different questions. 17 Implications for learning resources, including staff, library, IT and space: None 18 A statement confirming that, as far as can be reasonably anticipated, the curriculum, learning and teaching methods and forms of assessment do not present any non-justifiable disadvantage to students with disabilities: As far as can be reasonably anticipated, the curriculum, learning and teaching methods and forms of assessment do not present any non-justifiable disadvantage to students with disabilities. .

  • WILLIAMS-EXETER PROGRAMME at OXFORD UNIVERSITY Director: Professor Lucie Schmidt
    WILLIAMS-EXETER PROGRAMME AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY Director: Professor Lucie Schmidt THE PROGRAMME Williams College offers a year-long program of studies at Oxford University in co-operation with Exeter College (founded in 1314), one of the constituent colleges of the University. Williams students will be enrolled as Visiting Students at Exeter and as such will be undergraduate members of the University, eligible for access to virtually all of its facilities, libraries, and resources. As Visiting Students in Oxford, students admitted to the Programme will be fully integrated into the intellectual and social life of one of the world’s great universities. Although students on the Programme will be members of Exeter College, entitled to make full use of Exeter facilities (including the College Library), dine regularly in Hall, and join all College clubs and organizations on the same terms as other undergraduates at Exeter, students will reside in Ephraim Williams House, a compound of four buildings owned by Williams College, roughly 1.4 miles north of the city centre. Up to six students from Exeter College will normally reside in Ephraim Williams House each year, responsible for helping to integrate Williams students into the life of the College and the University. A resident director (and member of the Williams faculty) administers Ephraim Williams House, oversees the academic program, and serves as both the primary academic and personal advisor to Williams students in Oxford. Students on the Williams-Exeter Programme are required to be in residence in Oxford from Monday, 30 September 2019, until all academic work for Trinity term is complete (potentially as late as at least 27 June 2020) with two breaks for vacations between the three terms.

  • The Shirburnian
    THE SHIRBURNIAN Michaelmas 1984 Public Schools are the nurseries ofall vice and immorality - Henry Fielding Editor: Charles Rix Assisted by: J. Fair, D . Hadjigeorgiou, N. Parfitt, R. Bridge and C. Jacoby Photographic Editor: R. Simpson Photographs by: R. Simpson, J. Laurence, 1. Rees, H. Upton and B. Gunning Cover by: H. White Editorial Arthur Scargill is directly responsible for the miners' strike, and if they had a chance to go back to work they would. Cruise missiles are an essential part of Britain's defence policy, and an essential factor in the prevention of a major world war. The (so-far) seven-month old strike and cruise missiles seem to me to be the most relevant political issues at the time of writing. The views expressed are most likely to be found in a middle-class, right-wing, family-secluded stable - in other words, the type of home where one would most likely find that conservative stalwart, the average Shir­ bumian. I hate to drag the 'average Shirbumian' into this article, because in a way it is a horrendously meaningless tenn, but I am afraid to say he does exist, even if six-hundred and fifty voices claim they are exceptions. The average Shirbumian, since he comes from the home described, should in theory hold similar views to the ones I have expressed. I believe this holds true. However, I also think it is a bad sign in a school which prides itself in being near the top academically that such a stereo­ typed political outlook should be displayed. More of that later; I fear you need to be convinced of my rather rash generalisation.

  • 2018-2019 Oxford Prospects Visiting Student Programme
    2018-2019 Oxford Prospects Visiting Student Programme 2018-2019 Oxford Prospects Visiting Student Programme About Oxford The University of Oxford is one of the most prestigious universities in the world, founded in 1250 with some colleges’ histories stretching back even further. It is also a member of the prestigious Russell Group of major research universities in the United Kingdom (similar to the Ivy League). The University of Oxford enjoys a well-deserved reputation for world-class teaching, research and facilities. Our students benefit from centrally-organised lectures, seminars and lab time, and from the collegiate system of small-group teaching (called a tutorial) that takes place in the colleges. This approach provides individual support and guidance, enabling students to thrive academically whilst offering countless opportunities to get involved with extra- curricular activities. Your College will be your home during term- time and will be the focus of both your academic progress and your social life. About the Programme The Visiting Student Programme is open to eight to ten Chinese partner universities through the Oxford Prospects Programmes. The Visiting Student Programme offers suitably qualified students the opportunity to come to Oxford as Registered Visiting Students of the University of Oxford and as members of one of the four partner colleges: Mansfield, Pembroke, Worcester, or Regent’s Park College. Visiting Students are to study for the whole or part of one 1 2018-2019 Oxford Prospects Visiting Student Programme academic year. They will be on courses taken by full-time undergraduate students and study alongside them in tutorials and lectures. Our aim is to give Visiting Students the chance to experience the unique opportunities provided by study at Oxford while earning credit for their home institutions.
