Class participation includes coming to class prepared (i.e. completing all homework), as well as checking for announcements. The participation grade will reflect your contribution to class (for example: being present and punctual, answering and asking questions, being prepared when called on, being a team player in group work, and avoiding English, staying awake and focused in class, not leaving the classroom during the 50-minute period, and bringing the required materials). 25% Hausaufgaben (homework) in the textbook Kontakte () and Connect ().

To be completed in class as scheduled on the Semesterplan. 10% Vokabeltest. 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. There are several helpful free online resources for creating and studying flashcards, including Quizlet.com. Please keep in mind that online flashcard sets have not been vetted by your Citadel instructor and cannot be assumed to accurately or completely reflect the list contained in the textbook. 20% Prüfungen (chapter tests).

Your professor is not permitted to reschedule exams. Plan your holiday travel accordingly Missed Tests: Tests may not be missed due to guard duty. This is Citadel policy. If a chapter test or vocab quiz must be missed for some other reason, contact your professor in advance to make arrangements. In cases of illness or emergency, contact your professor as soon as possible. Final Exam Date and Time:* 1pm Wednesday, April 26th * Your professor is not permitted to reschedule final exams. Please plan your departure from campus accordingly. Tips for successful language learning Study daily to effectively prepare, practice and review material. Studying includes working on assignments, learning and practicing vocabulary and grammar, reading, listening to and speaking German. Practice actively and often and practice speaking out loud as much as possible, both alone and with others. Meet with fellow classmates and with tutors outside of class time to practice speaking German. Go to the German conversation group downtown every Wednesday night at 7pm to practice. Write to your Professor and stop by her office hours whenever you have questions. Avoid translating from English to German! When students think in their native language first and then write or speak in German, nonsense usually results. Strive to think and write in the German that you have instead of trying to express yourself exactly as you would in your native language. Embrace the language; think within the language; practice circumlocution: talking around what you can t say directly. Try not to worry about making mistakes in class: we welcome mistakes as a sign of learning. Embrace speaking German as a new side of your identity, or a new role to play. General Course Policies 2

3 Missed Tests: Tests may not be missed due to guard duty. This is Citadel policy. If you plan to be absent (e.g. for sport, drill, etc), inform your professor in advance of the test to be missed. 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. In cases of illness or emergency, contact your professor as soon as possible. Homework All homework is listed on the Semesterplan below and is due on the date it is listed. Remember: success in foreign language learning depends heavily on the time spent studying and preparing outside of class. No late homework will be accepted, except in extraordinary circumstances, such as emergencies, campus internet outages or Connect outages, and by arrangement with your Professor. (Printer access, guard duty, training exercises, etc, do not qualify as extraordinary circumstances and should be planned for in advance.) When you plan to be absent, homework must be submitted in advance. 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" (The Blue Book, p. 86). Cell Phones and Electronic Devices Use of personal electronic devices is not permitted during class, unless explicitly called for by the professor. Such devices include cell phones (including camera phones and smart phones), 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 lack of respect for your classmates, for your instructor, and for your learning environment, and therefore affects your participation grade. If you are experiencing a situation that requires you to be in constant electronic contact, consult with your instructor about the best way to proceed. Differing Language Levels Even beginner courses in German may contain students at different stages of their development as German learners. Productive class sessions will require a mutual show of respect, patience and good will. Keep in mind that the instructor does not compare students when assigning grades. The Syllabus and Semesterplan are subject to change. 3
