You need to participate in two approved cultural events. These include, among others, German films, German festivals held on campus, or a German related Internet project. To receive the credit for it, you will need to write a summary about the event in German and a critique about it in English. You are also encouraged to attend the German Table for informal conversation. There will be no make-ups of quizzes, but I will give an extra one and will not count your lowest grade of them.
Attendance is mandatory.
Classroom time provides one of the best opportunities for practice and exposure to German language. You are allowed up to three absences for illness and family emergencies only. Active participation is a key element in making this class a success. I highly encourage you to exchange phone numbers with several fellow students and create study groups. An absence is not an excuse for being unprepared.
