Class participation includes coming to class prepared (i.e. completing all homework), as well as checking email 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). 20% Hausaufgaben (homework) in the textbook Kontakte (& ) and Connect (: ).

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.

G 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.if you 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. 5% Mündliche Prüfung (oral final). An interview with your professor and a role play, scheduled during the last weeks of the semester.

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 plan to be absent, homework must be submitted in advance. 2

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, except when 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. Course Policy on Dictionaries, Translations and Extra Help: Our policy is designed to help language learners form good habits. We understand the frustration of being limited, yet we know that unlimited access does not automatically lead to more successful communication and in fact often inhibits it. We encourage students to embrace the early honey-moon phase of language learning, during which there is only a relatively small amount of material to feel responsible for. In our experience, students who make the most of this time by communicating courageously, playfully and experimentally in German will rarely be at a loss for words. "One-way" policy for Dictionaries: Use of traditional or online dictionaries in German 101 should be "one way", namely, to look up the meaning of a German words in English (German English). We ask you not to look up English words and phrases in order to use their German equivalent in an essay, for example. The purpose of assignments is to practice the German that we ve targeted in class. Use the German that you know! Ask your professor for additional 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, we encourage you 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 the information. G The Syllabus and Semesterplan are subject to change. 3
