In this course you will continue to acquire the basic skills for effective and Deutsch 102 Herbst 2015 MWF 9:00 9:50am Capers 213 meaningful communication in German. We will focus on the five essential skills for communication: understanding, speaking, reading, writing and culture. After successful completion of this course, you will be able to talk about your education and career goals, describe your surroundings, and talk about your experiences in the past. This course is conducted in German. Scale: (%) A= B=89-80 C=79-70 D=69-60 F= % Teilnahme (Class Participation): Successful language learning depends on active class participation. Class participation includes coming to class prepared (i.e. completing all homework), as well as checking for announcements. Your participation grade is 10% of your grade. Your class participation grade will reflect your contributions during class (asking and answering questions, being prepared when called on, being a team player in group work and avoiding English) as well your conduct (being present and punctual, staying awake and focused in class, and not leaving the classroom during the 50-minute period.) 2. 10% Vocabulary Quizzes. To prepare for vocabulary quizzes, review the appropriate sections of the vocabulary list at the end of the chapter, as well as the pictures and activities with which vocabulary was introduced in class. Successful students use flash cards to study vocabulary and start studying on the first day of the chapter. 3. 5% Daily Quiz (Quiz des Tages). Expect a brief quiz almost every class on grammar, culture,. There are absolutely no make-up quizzes. Your three lowest quiz grades will be dropped % Aufsatz (Composition) assignments. Aufsätze must be typed and double-spaced. Students who take pains to follow instructions and consult their notes and textbooks should receive the grade of A or B. If such pains have been taken and the assignment receives the grade of C, it is a sign to seek extra help from your instructor % Pru fungen (chapter tests). A chapter test covers vocabulary, grammatical structures, listening, reading, writing and culture. Review all the work you have completed for the chapter. Missed Tests: Tests may not be missed due to guard duty (The White Book, p. 86-7). If a test is missed for some other reason and you have informed your professor appropriately, the next test will count double. If there is no following test, the previous test score will be used. Failing to notify your professor in advance of missing a test or missing a second test may result in a grade of 0 for that test. Emergency? Contact your professor as soon as possible % Interviews. An interview with your professor and a role play, scheduled during the last weeks of the term % Abschlusspru fung (written final): Cumulative, on the date scheduled by the college % Hausaufgabe: Your success in learning German and ability to participate in class depends heavily on the time spent studying and preparing outside of class. All homework is listed on the Semesterplan below. The Assignment Key below provides specific instructions for how to complete different types of assignments. On-line homework (10%) is found in Connect. It will be graded according to the percentage of correct responses. You may redo these exercises as many times as you like before the due date. The best score will count! The Arbeitsbla tter (AB) (Worksheets) (10%) are also in Connect, however these you must print off, complete in writing and on paper and then turn in to me as a physical copy. Sometimes you will have to listen to a dialog or story on Connect in order to complete the assignment. If this is the case, listen to the dialog, but complete the task on the worksheet, not in Connect. Worksheets will be graded by your instructor. If you clearly demonstrate that you have spent time on the assignment and have consulted 1 Assignments and Assessment Required Texts: Kontakte. 7 th Edition. McGraw Hill Online Workbook (Arbeitsbuch), the access code is packaged with the textbook! Recommended: English Grammar for Students of German. Zorach, Melin, and Kautz

2 your notes and textbook during the process, and completed the assignment with care, you will most likely receive and A or B on the assignment. Students who put the time and effort into the assignment should not receive a C if they do, it is a signal to seek extra help from your instructor. Assignments that are incomplete, sloppy and/or illegible, or which clearly reflect that the textbook and notes have not been consulted will receive low grades. All homework is due at 9:00 am. No late homework will be accepted, except in extraordinary circumstances and by arrangement with the professor. Forgetting, printer problems, guard duty, training exercises, etc., do not qualify as extraordinary circumstances. When you know you will be absent, homework must be submitted in advance. Please check the due dates and times often! Your three lowest homework grades in Connect will be dropped. In the event of a personal or family emergency, notify your professor as soon as you are able so that accommodations can be made. Remember: Your success in foreign language learning depends heavily on the time spent studying and preparing outside of class. Drops: Your 2 lowest homework grades (only worksheets) and your 2 lowest Quiz des Tages grades will be dropped. General Course Policies Attendance Attendance is mandatory. Official Citadel attendance policy will be followed. Students must notify the professor at least 24 hours in advance of any planned absence and submit homework in advance. Students must make an effort to reschedule guard duty when it conflicts with class, and tests may not be missed due to guard duty (The White Book, p. 86-7). Furthermore, "For any student, absences, whether authorized or unauthorized, in excess of 20% of the meetings of a particular course can, at the discretion of the professor, result in a grade of F in that course" (Blue Book, p. 86). Cell Phones and Electronic Devices Use of personal electronic devices is not permitted during class. Such devices include cell phones, smart phones, Iphones, blackberries, pagers, tablet PCs, mobile presenters, wireless tablets, digital recorders, beepers, palms, IPods, MP3 players, texting calculators, digital cameras, and laptops. (This policy does not extend to medically necessary assistive devices and to approved emergency communications). Texting or otherwise working with your electronic devices in class displays not only a visible lack of attention but also a profound lack of respect for your classmates, for your instructor, and for your learning environment. If you are experiencing a situation that requires you to be in constant electronic contact, you should not be in the classroom. Violating this policy affects your participation grade. Course Policy on Dictionaries, Translations and Extra Help: "One-way" policy for Dictionaries: Use of traditional or online dictionaries in German 102 is only permitted "one way": namely to look up the meaning of words in German. You may not look up English words and phrases to include them in a German essay. The purpose of assignments is to practice the German that you've learned in class. Use the German that you know! Ask your professor for vocabulary when necessary. "Two-way" policy for Textbook glossary: The glossary in the back of the textbook may be used two ways (German English/English German), but with caution: avoid words that aren't introduced until later chapters unless you are confident that you can use them correctly. Remember that words can have multiple meanings and the glossary won't always make that clear. If you require vocabulary beyond what the book provides in order to express yourself, ask your professor for help! Translation Programs: Use of online translators, translation software, etc. is cheating and will not be tolerated. This includes using an online dictionary to translate even a single phrase from English. Tutoring and extra help: Your professor is available during office hours and by appointment for extra help. For regular tutoring, you are encouraged to seek out the German tutor at the Writing and Learning center. Consult with your professor before receiving help from anyone else. 2

3 Cheating/Plagiarism: All work submitted must be your own. Use of online translation programs is cheating. Using German phrases you have learned from the textbook is not plagiarism, as long as you are personalizing the information. Final Exam Date and Time: Friday, December 11 th at 8:00am. Your Professor is not permitted to reschedule the exams. Plan your end of semester travel accordingly. The Syllabus and Semesterplan are subject to change.
