Intensive Beginning German

Catalog description

This course is primarily designed for graduate students seeking reading knowledge of German. It is conducted in English and consequently students do not learn how to speak or write German as they typically do in language acquisition classes. The focus instead lies on grammar, vocabulary building, and translation. No previous familiarity with German is expected, but by the end of the course students will ideally be able to understand the basic gist of scholarly texts in their respective disciplines. Graded on A-F basis only. Credit Hour s : 3
