Another pubquiz by GAG.

Come all and win great prizes!

It will be legendary.

Are you wondering what on earth to do with your (future) thesis? How other people solved their SOGging problems and other difficulties while writing their theses? Curious to what the possibilities are when it comes to a subject for this thesis?
G.A.G. has the solution! W…e organise a thesis afternoon that will hopefully answer all your questions. Five former thesis-writers will drop by to tell you something about their experiences, subjects, and troubles. Pieter de Haan (linguistics) and Usha Wilbers (literature) will introduce our afternoon by explaining a bit about theses. Both linguistic and literature theses will be discussed, and we also offer both bachelor and master theses.
There will be tea, cookies, and the opportunity to ask questions, so there is absolutely no reason not to come!

19 January @ TvA 8.00.12 from 16:00-18:00

On 15 December GAG will go to a a viewing of the movie Anonymous about Shakespeare. The film starts at 21:15 at LUX in Nijmegen. You will have to buy your own ticket when you get there. We will gather at 21:00 so be on time! We hope to see you there.

Books 2011
You can order your books at Studystore.
- Go to http://www.studystore.nl/webshop/
- Choose Nijmegen at ‘Plaats’
- Choose RU Letteren BA at ‘Instelling’
- Choose Blok 1 Engelse Taal en Cultuur at ‘Boekenlijst’

First year students will need almost all books with ‘BA1′ in the title.
For Oral Communication Skills and Phonetics you will only need your version. Do not order British and American for these subjects, just the pronunciation you chose. For American Studies students this is of course American, and the British version is for students who chose English Language and Culture.

Readers

Each year several readers will be available. Depending on your choice of subjects.
- Go to http://letteren.ru-bestel.nl/
- Log in with your studentnumber and password (which has been sent to you by the University)
- Choose “Bachelor 1″ (for first year students)
- Choose ‘Engelse Taal en Cultuur’ or ‘Amerikanistiek’ at ‘Opleiding’ (A drop down list)

You will see the readers that are available. You can order them and pay with iDeal. After a couple of days you will get an e-mail saying your order is ready. Take the order number with you to the Copyshop on campus (Thomas van Aquinostraat 2).

For now there are no readers available for the first year students who chose English Language and Culture, however there are readers available for American Studies first year students.
