Students seeking 8 credit points are expected to write a paper on a topic related to any weekly topic of the seminar. Term papers are to be 15-17 pages (5000-6000 words) in length including footnotes and references. Term papers are due by the end of the semester (March 31st for Summer Semester/ September 30th for Winter Semester). Students needing extensions must contact Dr Stöwesand (if enrolled in the SAI) or Professor Maclean (if enrolled through any other program). Please consult the style and form guidelines for assessing the Hausarbeit, and also note the style guide . The Statement of Authorship is mandatory, and can be downloaded 

Students enrolled in Seminars are all expected to read the asterisked text prior to class (see information on Moodle), plus one other of their choice. Consult Miriam E. Sweeney’s guide to reading  and Kevin G. Barnhurst’s guide to reading . Prof Holly Walters provides more extended tips on reading articles .
