The "Reader"

In time to the start of the new semester, here's some information about the infamous "reader" you might have to buy for some of your seminars.

A "reader" is a collection of xeroxed course material that is reassembled for every semester individually. Many seminars, ILS courses and introductory classes work with readers, because it is great for collecting the required reading for your class. Check the class description in the "Vorlesungsverzeichnis" (university calender) to see if your seminars are accompanied by a reader. Usually, the instructors send out an email to tell you you're registered for their class and also to let you know when and where you can get the reader.

The readings in the reader are usually mandatory for the respective class, so make sure you buy it early enough and get a head start!
Most readers are already available in the last week of the break or the first week of the semester. You can buy most of them at the copyshop Skript & Kopie at Wolfgangstraße. Here's a google maps plan of how to get there:


You see it's very close to the university and very easy to get there.
Leave the IG-Farben Haus through the main entrance and walk down to the bus stop.
Cross the street and walk down Parkstraße.
On the next corner, turn right into Wolfgangstraße.
The copyshop is at the end of the block in the corner house on the left.

Most readers will be available here. There are lists with the names of the instructors and the titles of the courses. Simply pick the course you are taking (e.g. Writing Skills) and the respective instructor (e.g. Peggy Preciado) and tell the nice people behind the counter the number of that reader as  printed on the list. Please not that the copyshop only takes cash; you cannot pay with your debit card there. 

Have a successful summer term!
