HOW TO PREPARE FOR CLASSES
Each student is required to give a presentation (ca. 25-30 minutes). The distribution of presentations will take place in Session 1. The starting point for these presentations is indicated in the Schedule and the Bibliography. Please send all handouts (not more than two pages) to me by e-mail two days before the presentation so that I can check them. You are to incorporate any commentaries and upload your handout to Stud IP before your presentation. You are also required to give a very brief summary of the lines leading up to the passage scheduled to be translated in class (no handout). You may consult a translation for this summary.
Prepare the indicated passages in the textbook G. Jack, ed., Beowulf: a Student Edition (Oxford, 1994). We will translate these into German. Since we will not be able to translate all indicated lines for reasons of time you may consult a translation of the indicated passages so that we can discuss these even. Note all problems and questions you may have for this discussion.
You are required to consult further publications for more information. Here you can find a Bibliography with further publications.
