Contact: Course Goals: Welcome to Ich und meine Welt Elementary German I! In this course you will learn how to communicate in German. To achieve this, we will focus on the five essential skills for Required Texts: Kontakte. 7 th Edition. McGraw Hill Connect Online Workbook (Arbeitsbuch), the access code is packaged with the textbook! Recommended: English Grammar for Students of German. Zorach, Melin, and Kautz communication: understanding, speaking, reading, writing, and culture. After successfully completing this course you will be able to make small talk and talk about yourself and your interests in German, as well as to ask others about themselves. The conversational and cultural competence you develop will lay the groundwork for meeting other people and making contacts abroad. This course is conducted in German. Assignments and Assessment Summary 10% Essays five in-class essays graded for effort and correctness. 10% Participation See below 10% Quizzes Almost daily, but always scheduled. 10 % On-line HW On-line Homework in CONNECT graded for correctness. 10 % Arbeitsblätter Graded for correctness and effort. 30 % Tests 3 period tests (Prüfungen). 3% Mid-term Oral Oral interview at mid-term. 7% Final Oral Final Oral Interview. 10% Written Final Written exam on the date scheduled by the college. Extra credit Vocabulary flash cards and learning log, attendence at occasional outside events Scale: (%) A= B=89-80 C=79-70 D=69-60 F=59-0 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, pagers, 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 101 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 1

2 (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. 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 Detailed Assignment Guide 10% 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. You will start the semester with 20 points. I will deduct one point for every instance of sleeping, not bringing the proper materials to class (as in book, paper, pencil), leaving the classroom for any reason, being late, texting or viewing your smart phone, not having any idea where we are when I call on you, etc.. The points you have left at the end of the semester determine your class participation grade. 20% Hausaufgabe (homework):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 is found in Connect. It will be graded according to the precentage of correct responses. You may redo these exercises as many times as you like before the due date. The best score will count! The Arbeitsblätter (AB) are also in Connect, however these you must print off, complete in writing and on paper before turning in to me a physical copy of the assignment. It will be graded by your instructor. If you clearly demonstrate that you have spent time on the assignment and have consulted 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 or below 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 on-line homework is due at 8:00 am. Turn-in homeworks (worksheets) are due at the beginning of your class period. 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.. 10% Quiz (vocabulary). 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. For grammar quizzes review the Strukturen sections. 10% Aufsatz (Composition) assignments. To be completed in class as scheduled on the Semesterplan. Aufsätze will be graded by your instructor. 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 or below, it is a sign to seek extra help from your instructor. 30% Prüfungen (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 2

3 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 (oral midterm-3% and final-7%): An interview with your professor and a role play, scheduled at midterm and during the last weeks of the term. 10% Abschlussprüfung (written final): Cumulative, on the date scheduled by the college.
