course goals |
To speak, write, read, and understand German in controlled situations and to begin the study of German culture. |
|
|
|
|
course pace |
This course is an accelerated, intensive course, in which we cover a year of college-level German in one semester. The only way for us to cover this much material in such a short time is if you do a majority of the work outside of class. Depending on your background, expect to spend two to three hours working on your own for every one hour of class time. |

attendance and participation |
The only way to learn a language is to use the language. Given your goals of good communicative proficiency, regular attendance and preparation are essential. Class time will be designed for active learning and practice. You will work with other students in class on such tasks as interviewing, reporting, describing, narrating, and so forth. To use the class time effectively, you must actively participate in activities. ÔRegular attendanceÕ means coming to class all the time. You are given points for class participation, and missing class means forfeiting these points. If illness or emergencies keep you out of class, contact your instructor by phone or e-mail. When you do need to miss a class, you are expected to confer with your classmates to review what was covered during your absence and to find out about any announcements such as changes to the syllabus. In other words, you are responsible for everything that was said or done in class, regardless of whether you were present at the time. (ÒI donÕt think I was there when you said thatÓ wonÕt fly.) More than 5 absences Ð including any absences from the lab (see below) Ð will result in a half-grade reduction to your final grade; more than 7 in a full-grade reduction; and more than 9 in a failing grade. The only exceptions to this rule are medical and family emergencies that have been cleared with the Dean of Students. |
|
|
|
|
homework |
You will be assigned homework from the main textbook and from the Arbeitsbuch (Arbeitsbuch). The answers to most exercises are in the back of the two books. You should always check your answers with these answer keys. If you find you are making mistakes and donÕt understand why, bring it up at the beginning of the next class Ð youÕll be doing your classmates a favor, since you are certainly not the only one having difficulty. It is essential to your progress that unclear points be cleared up early on. So speak up! It is essential that you do the exercises on the day they are assigned; they are scheduled to solidify material presented in the previous class session. |
|
|
|
|
textbook assignments |
The assignments will include
sections of the purple grammar pages (ÒStrukturenÓ); you should study these
very carefully until you have understood and learned the material, not just
read through them. You will also be assigned †bungen (exercises) in the purple pages, and on occasion
other tasks from the main pages of the textbook. Some of these are marked ÒeinzureichenÓ
(to be turned in) on the syllabus; these are to be turned in at the beginning
of class on the day they are due. |
|
|
|
|
workbook assignments |
Do the exercises in blue or black ink, then check your answers using the answer key in the back of the Arbeitsbuch, correcting your mistakes in red ink. For the HšrverstŠndnisse (listening comprehension exercises) in the Workbook, you will need to work with the audio files in the Humanities Resource Center or HRC, on the first floor of Humanities. You can access the files either through the computers in the HRC or (they tell me) from any computer on campus with audio capability. Go to www.macalester.edu/hrc/, then click on ÒDigital Resources.Ó Then click your way through to the right audio file. |
|
|
|
|
conversation hour |
In addition to our regular
three meetings a week, you are required to attend a mandatory fourth session
Ð the conversation hour Ð in which you will work on conversation skills in
small, more informal groups with a native speaker of German. If you have not
signed up for a lab session, you must do so during the first week of classes.
Conversation sessions begin the second week of the semester. Missed
conversation sessions cannot be made up, although in emergency cases you may
be able to arrange with your conversation group leader to attend a different
session on a one-time basis. Absences in the conversation hour count as
absences in the course as a whole (see above for consequences!). |
|
|
|
|
co-curricular activities |
In order to encourage you to
explore a variety of German-related activities and events beyond your
immediate course, you are required to attend two German Studies Department
activities in the course of the semester. You can find out what activities
are available by going to the department events calendar at http://www.macalester.edu/~german/
departmentcalender.html. ALL department events are open to you. Please
inform me by email when you attend a co-curricular activity. |

assistance outside of class |
Please feel free to see me during office hours about any questions and concerns you have about your German course. If you would like to see me at a time other than my office hours, I'll be happy to make an appointment. Dropping by my office without an appointment or a phone call is ill-advised, since you may miss me or catch me in preparation for another course. Phone calls and email are always welcome. The German Department offers tutoring for free. If you have difficulties understanding the material, make use of the tutors. The tutor's schedule is available at the German Department. |
