Deutsch 202
Intermediate German
Frühlingsemester 2008
Dr. Ogier
Purpose of the course: To review (and, in some
cases, introduce) advanced grammatical structures such as the passive, the
subjunctive, and indirect discourse; to improve aural comprehension; to
continue to develop the linguistic skills necessary to deal with cultural
situations; to introduce students to literary German and the strategies
involved in reading literary texts for understanding.
Texts:
Hering, et al., em Übungsgrammatik
Frisch,
"Biedermann und die Brandstifter"
Dürrenmatt, Der
Richter und sein Henker
Lab

Attendance: A large part of your grade
(35%--see below) depends directly on your efforts in the classroom, and
the rest of your grade depends largely on your knowledge of materials presented
in the classroom, as well. You are allowed three absences. Upon your
third absence, you and your advisor will receive a warning letter. Upon your
fourth absence, you will be dropped from the course with a grade of DP or DF. As the final exam will include an oral
component, it is to your advantage to use every available opportunity to hear
and speak German.
Grading:
20%--mid-term
exam
20%--final
exam
20%--oral
exam at end of semester
15%--average
Extemporale Prüfung
grade
25%--subjective grade based on
classroom participation, improvement in communicative skills, quality of
homework, attendance, humor appreciation, etc. This grade will not be lower
than the average Ex grade. Nor will this grade
be more than one whole grade higher than the average Ex
grade. Thus, the average Ex grade, while officially only 15% of the
total grade, determines the range of 40% of the total grade. You will
periodically receive computer-generated grade sheets to let you know where you
stand. Missing the final exam or the oral exam will result in an F for
the whole semester.
Every
Friday there will be an Ex or a schriftliche
Arbeit. Exen
cover everything discussed or read until the class before the Ex
(inclusive). I discard the lowest Ex grade of
the semester when calculating the average. Bear in mind, however, that absence
for any reason qualifies as an F, so save that missed Ex for an
illness, 50 Cent concert, or other emergency.
If
you have an overwhelmingly convincing reason for missing the midterm, a make-up
can be arranged. Airplane reservations (especially to anywhere tropical),
papers due or midterms looming in other courses fall far short of being
overwhelmingly convincing reasons.
The
written part of the final exam will take place on Thursday, April 24 at 2:00
a.m.
My office is Lucas 202 and my telephone number
is 375-2388. If it is before 9 p.m., you may call me at home--389-6525. My
office hours will be posted on my door and my web site (http://www.roanoke.edu/forlang/ogier)
once committee meetings and independent studies fall into place. E-Mail me at ogier@roanoke.edu .
The college expects you to know and
abide by the RC Academic Integrity code.
