Goals Of The Course
Practice in listening to, speaking, reading and writing German.
Policies
Attendance is essential if you hope to keep up and not fall hopelessly behind. After your first FOUR absences, I reserve the right to drop your final grade average by five points for each subsequent absence.
Final Grade
The five unit tests will count 45%, the class participation evaluation will count 10%, the sound media work evaluations will count 10%, the two oral interview tests will count 5% each (10% total), and the final exam will count 25%.
Sound Media Work
(Lab Or Home)
All students are expected to work with the CD's at home or in the language lab. The 10% sound media work evaluation will be based on the completed Hören Sie zu! exercises from the textbook and CD's which you must turn in to the instructor at the end of each chapter. All students who do their work in the language lab are expected to maintain their attendance sheets in this book. See the lab director or one of the student workers to get your sheet started.
Some Points
On Preparing Each Lesson
Listen and read for general comprehension of the German. Do not try to translate right offhand. Look up words at convenient breaks. Continuity of listening and/or reading is important, especially the first time through.
Review, constant review, is essential and consists of re-doing each of the above steps.

As Soon As A Problem Arises.
Credit By Examination
From Undergraduate Bulletin, p. 145: "Students who have studied a foreign language in which they are not native speakers, and have not previously received undergraduate credit in that language at a college or university, may receive credit by examination. Such credit is limited to a maximum of six hours in a language or twelve hours within the department and is granted by fulfilling the following criteria:
"1. Achievement of a satisfactory score on a proficiency examination administered by the Department of Foreign Languages.
"2. Satisfactory completion, with a minimum grade of "B", of the next sequential foreign language course above the level for which credit is to be awarded."
Americans with Disabilities Act
The University of Central Arkansas adheres to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. If you need an accommodation under this Act due to a disability, contact the Office of Disability Support Services at 450-3135.
Academic Integrity
All students are expected to do their own work, especially on tests and research papers. This instructor does not tolerate any kind of cheating on tests or plagiarism in research papers and reports. Students discovered cheating or committing plagiarism will receive an automatic failing grade for the course and will be reported to the appropriate university authorities.
