Elementary Russian II

Catalog description

Continuation of A RUS 101. Students refine their ability to express spatial location and the subject matters of their university courses. They are introduced to the system of "motion verbs" in Russian, time expressions, expressing direct action with the accusative case, and expressing possession and nonexistence using the genitive case. Native speakers of Russian may not take this course. Students with only limited Russian gained from growing up in families where Russian was spoken may be allowed to enroll in this course with permission of the instructor. Transfer students who have had one year of Russian-language study are advised to enroll in A RUS 201. Students who have had two or more years of college-level Russian-language study are advised to consider SUNY study-abroad options for more advanced Russian study. Language courses must be taken in sequence. A student may not earn graduation credit for a lower-level course taken concurrently with a higher-level course or after receiving credit for a higher-level course in the sequence. Prerequisite(s): A RUS 101 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.
