Successful language learning depends on active class participation. Class participation includes coming to class prepared (i.e. completing all homework), as well as checking and CitLearn for announcements and assignments. Your class participation grade will reflect your contributions during class (answering questions, being prepared when called on, being a team player in group work, asking questions, 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.) 8% Textbook (Kursbuch) homework. An assignment in Kontakte that introduces a new grammar topic before we practice it in class. Read the grammar explanation in English, and then complete the assigned exercises. Complete the exercises on your own, using the information you ve just read and the charts provided as a reference. Then correct your work in a different colored pen and turn it in on the date scheduled in the syllabus. The answer key can be found in Appendix G at the back of the textbook (page A-34). Corrected and complete assignments receive full credit ( ). Activities not corrected receive a D ( -) Incomplete activities receive an F. 10% Online Workbook (Arbeitsbuch) homework. Log in with the same account info you used last semester. Your professor will provide you with an enrollment key for this semester s course. Assignments in the workbook practice what was covered in class. They include writing and listening activities and are due the date they are scheduled on the Semesterplan. You may attempt each workbook activity three times for points. Your final score for the activity will be calculated based on your best attempt. 10% Worksheet (Arbeitsblatt) homework: posted on CitLearn. Worksheets generally practice material covered in class. Print each worksheet, complete it by hand and turn it in on the date scheduled. 1

2 12% Essay (Aufsatz) and correction (Korrektur) homework: assignments posted on CitLearn. Essays must be typed and double spaced, stapled to any pre-writing activities and submitted on the date scheduled. Essays will be graded and marked with correction symbols. Corrected essays must be typed, double-spaced, stapled to the original essay (the copy marked up by professor) and submitted on the date scheduled. The corrected essay is a separate assignment. Not submitting corrections results in a 0 for that assignment. 10% Vocabulary tests (Vokabeltests) To prepare for vocabulary tests, review the vocabulary list at the end of the chapter, but focus on the pictures and activities with which vocabulary was introduced in class. It is strongly recommended that you make and use flash cards to study vocabulary. Start studying chapter vocabulary on the first day of the chapter. 15% Chapter tests (Prüfungen). A chapter test covers grammatical structures, listening, reading, writing and culture. Review all the work you have completed for the chapter. 7.5% Oral Final (Interview): An interview with your professor, scheduled during the last weeks of the semester. 7.5% Written Final (Schlussprüfung): Cumulative, on the date scheduled by the college.

Your Professor is not permitted to reschedule the exams. Plan your holiday travel accordingly. 11am Section: Fri., Dec. 7 th, pm Section: Wed., Dec. 12 th, 0800 General Course Policies Homework All homework is listed on the Semesterplan below, and is due on the date it is listed. Remember: Your 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 and by arrangement with your 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 turned in advance. Your lowest Textbook grade and Worksheet grade will be dropped. Attendance Attendance is mandatory. Official Citadel attendance policy will be followed: Students must provide documentation of an effort to reschedule guard duty when it conflicts with class, and tests shall not be missed due to guard duty. Furthermore, for any student, absences, whether excused or unexcused and in excess of 20% of the class meetings can, at the discretion of the professor, result in a grade of F in the course". Cell Phones and Electronic Devices Use of personal electronic devices is not permitted during class. 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 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. 2

3 Course Policy on Dictionaries, Translations, Plagiarism and Extra Help: "One-way" policy for Dictionaries: Use of traditional or online dictionaries in German 101 is only permitted "oneway": 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: Professors Emm, Frenzel and Skow are available to help. You are also encouraged to seek out the German tutor at the Academic Support Center. Consult with your professor before receiving help from anyone else. Cheating/Plagiarism: All work submitted must be your own. Use of online translation programs is cheating. Using phrases you have learned from the textbook is not plagiarism, as long as you are personalizing the information. The Syllabus and Semesterplan are subject to change. 3
