5. Students know the basic concepts and strategies of
academic work, especially how to find literature and
information. They are familiar with the wide range of
English and American Studies related information
resources and depending on the problem they face are
able to choose from them. They know the rules of good
academic practice and are able to understand and
appreciate the relevance of information literacy for their
future professional practice.
