I’d like to remind the students that, in case they intend to write their B.A.-papers in this course, they should let me know in the first two weeks of the semester! The deadline for B.A.-papers written during the summer term 2014 (SS 14) is the 15^th of February 2015. It would be ideal, nevertheless, to hand in the BA-papers by the end of the semester, i.e. in June 2014.

B.A.-papers are additional to PS-papers, what means you should write 12-15 pages for your PS-paper AND 30-40 for your B.A.-paper.
