Classes are conducted in German, except when explanations of grammar or other material require the use of English.
Key features this quarter: 1) Short skit produced in class at the end of Spring quarter--and the ever-popular “Evening o’ Skits,” featuring a selection of the best first and second year German skits, 2) selected readings by Brecht, Grimm, & Kafka, 3) Cultural focus on Switzerland.
PREREQUISITES: 101-2 or equivalent. - PN not permitted.
TEACHING METHOD: A variety of teaching techniques are used. Classroom activities are designed to help students master basic German structures by providing daily opportunities to use new material in practical communicative situations. Class work is reinforced through written homework and practice with audio in the Digital Language Lab.
EVALUATION METHOD: A test is given at the end of each chapter and the final quarter grade is based on: chapter tests, the final skit, written homework, quizzes, attendance, and class participation.
