The current semester creates special challenges for you and for us. Teaching largely organized via Internet courses, the question of accessibility of teaching materials and literature, or even the uncertainty regarding exams raise numerous questions. Sometimes, despite the lively and active participation in the courses, there can sometimes be a feeling of uncertainty because of the current situation. The discontinuation of childcare services, for example, sometimes confronts students and teachers with children with almost insurmountable tasks.

The Institute for Romance Languages and Literatures would like to create a space for exchange about such overarching aspects of the current semester. Therefore, we have set up a Moodle course that gives you the opportunity to address the issues that are important to you, anonymously if necessary. The link to this as well as the password can be obtained via email from Natalie Meertens at: natalie.meertens@uni-due.de

As an institute, we are very interested in your impressions, also and especially if you have critical comments. This applies even more this semester, especially since we are all still moving in little-known territory and the possibilities for a quick word in passing are severely limited.

Thank you for your participation

The staff of Romance Studies
