German 200 - Course Goals
This course aims to increase your proficiency in all four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening comprehension. We hope that our selection of the readings (cultural and literary texts) will be enjoyable and profitable. You will get practice in speaking and listening through classroom discussion of the readings as well as group discussions of general topics. In addition to this we will have a thorough grammar review.

Homework and Attendance
It is simply not possible to make satisfactory progress in this or any other language course without punctual submission of assignments and thorough preparation for class. Because participation is an integral part of learning a foreign language, it is absolutely necessary that you attend class regularly, and absences will affect your final grade considerably. Tests or quizzes must be taken on dates and times indicated.
