The aim of German 225 is to develop the students' ability to speak and write in German on everyday matters and current events through daily oral work (in-class discussions and presentations) and weekly essays.  A systematic grammar review is an integral part of the course.  The final grade is based equally on the following 5 components: class participation, essays, grammar quizzes, in-class exams, and the final exam.  Course language is German.

Required Textbooks:

• Handbuch zur deutschen Grammatik. J. Rankin, L. Wells. Houghton Mifflin / Fourth Edition
• Course reader at Bob=s Copy Shop.
