Assessment will be either at the university overseas, with prior agreement of the Head of German Studies, or at Macquarie University. This is a reading unit that can be taken by students who have completed GMN287 . A number of short modern texts will be studied in relation to their historical and cultural context. This unit is strongly recommended to students who have the necessary prerequisites, as it will help develop their reading skills and at the same time introduce them to important aspects of modern German culture and society. Texts and vocabularies are provided.
Assessment is by coursework.
The units also cover basic areas of German grammar. The units are offered day and evening as well as externally and assessment is by class tests and examination. No previous knowledge of German is required. These units are intended for students only wishing to acquire a reading knowledge of the language, whether for general interest or for research purposes. The language is presented specifically from a reader's point of view.
