This wiki was created as a tool for the Graduate Students in the Department of German and Russian Studies at MU who are studying for their MA exam. There is already much information on the site, but there is still room for much more. The purpose of this site is for the Grad Students to help build a body of information that facilitates and supports individual learning as well as group scholarship through collaborative efforts. On the discussion boards of the various sections one can find discussion questions pertaining to that particular section. These are meant to spark a discussion that will lead to a deeper understanding of the subject matter by collecting ideas, and helping the Grad Students to synthesize useful theses that can be used as a base to answer questions on the MA exam. The Graduate Students are strongly encouraged to add questions of their own to the discussion boards. By working together, the Graduate Students at MU have the opportunity to create a powerful learning tool that supports their pursuit of a MA degree in German Studies.
