Time to Register...

.... for your exams!

It's that time of the year again. The semester is coming to an end and it's time to register for your "Modulabschlussprüfugen".

Before you start writing a paper, make sure you're actually registered for it! 

Every BA and MA Student needs to register for every *Modulabschlussprüfung* (term papers and exams) directly with Philprom via the QIS/LSF page.

Here are this semester's dates from the Philprom for BA American Studies, MA American Studies, BA English Studies and MA ALCM. The Philprom now also offers a step-by-step instruction on how to register using the QIS/LSF system. (scroll down to find the winter term)

Remember you can also back out of registered exams if you feel like you won't be able to make it or if you'd rather do it again next semester. But if you don't register, you won't get any credit points for the module!

The Writing Center

The Semester is in full swing and it's time to worry about the first essays and term papers? If you feel like you want or need to talk to someone about your idea, brainstorm titles, work on your thesis, structure your paper, or if you have already written something and would like to hear a second opinion, come see us at the Writing Center!


The Writing Center is a teaching and learning workplace, not a "fix-it" shop or an editing service, but we can help you become a better writer. Long-term, the Writing Center's mission is to help students become independent learners and writers, building their confidence and helping them develop writing tools for learning on their own.

We're located at IG 3.256 and open mondays and wednesdays from 2 - 5 p.m., and tuesdays from 2 - 4 starting next week. Sign-up sheets for 30-minute sessions are on the door, but feel free to simply knock and see if one of us is free to work with you!

Don't be shy, stop by! ;) And remember: "The most productive change most students need to make in working on their essays is to begin writing sooner" - Yale Writing Center
