Info

Approximate grade breakdown: Classroom attendance (required) & oral participation*: Interactive CD homework and printouts: Other homework, including Lernbuch writing assignments**: Vocab/culture quizzes & chapter tests (including listening and speaking): Final exam (ch. 8 test plus material from previous chapters): 15% 20% 20% 30% 15% *Part of this grade will be your own weekly self-‐assessment: if you missed any classes, how well you prepared for and participated in classes, how much German you spoke, etc. **Lernbuch writing assignments with the paper icon are to be done on separate paper as they are assigned, not in the Lernbuch or in a notebook. Please do not hand in pages ripped out of notebooks with raggedy edges. Take pride in the work you hand in to me. General hints: Attendance & study: You are expected to attend ALL class sessions and participate actively. Only serious illness or grave situations should prevent your attendance in class. You are responsible for discussing absences with me and for obtaining makeup assignments. Do not assume you may hand in work late without discussing it with me. Call or e-‐mail BEFORE class is missed if at all possible. Take seriously the absolute necessity for thorough preparation outside of class. You need to set up a disciplined, daily study schedule in order to keep up with the work. If you practice material in a regular fashion, you should manage well. Just promise yourself now that you will not get behind! It is highly advisable to do as students in Germany do: form an Arbeitsgruppe with others from your class, and/or meet regularly with a native speaker or more advanced student. Resources: There are native speakers of German on campus, plus more advanced non-‐native speakers. Meet them all, take advantage of German Club and other opportunities to use the language. If you get involved with German, it will become a part of you. Study Abroad: Have I mentioned that YOU can be one of the illustrious MU students to study in Germany on our exchange program with the FSU-‐Jena? You need to have at least 2202 level-‐-‐basic functional competence-‐-‐to go on the program. Besides German instruction designed for foreigners, there are courses in other academic areas that you can take while in Jena. MU also participates in the ISEP study abroad structure, through which you are eligible to study at over 100 institutions around the world. German-‐speaking universities in several countries are represented, and you do not necessarily have to have any certain level of German, depending on the program. All credits earned on ISEP programs or the FSU-‐Jena/MU exchange transfer and count toward your MU degree. You do not have to be majoring in German to study abroad. Finally, keep checking the DAAD website (daad.org) for the huge number of opportunities for short-‐ or longer-‐term study opportunities, internships, etc., in a large variety of fields. You can subscribe to a weekly update and not miss any chance! Many scholarships are available, but you must apply well ahead of time. Keep looking! Above all, enjoy interacting with other people in German! That's what it's really all about.
