This class will be conducted entirely in German. Advanced German
is a work-intensive course. Its success will depend on you and the
amount of time you invest. Please be aware that attendance in both
the main section and the subsection is crucial. Unexcused absences
affect your grade in the performance and written homework category.
The bi-weekly subsection
is an integral part of this course. It is designed to review grammar
issues and improve your writing. Weekly writing assignments for
this subsections are due every Friday by 1 pm.
Late work will not be accepted, except in the case of serious
illness, medical emergency, or some other compelling mitigating
circumstance. Other coursework, job requirements, or other class
projects are not considered mitigating circumstances. The major
assignments will be given to you well enough in advance for you
plan your schedules accordingly. All major assignments must be completed
in order to pass this course. "Incomplete" grades and
extensions are not available without documented evidence of extraordinary
hardships (e.g., medical problems). Having a heavy workload is not
an extraordinary hardship.
Any work that is plagiarized (borrowing someone else's ideas or
information without proper citation; making improper use of tranlsation
engines, etc.) will be graded an "F." Further disciplinary
action may also be taken.
Readings must be completed prior to class. The amount of reading
is heavier some weeks than others, so don't put it off to the last
minute.
