Average Course Rating

(4.5)

Taught in German. This course is designed to provide language training in German tailored to students of science & engineering. Germany has long been a world leader in engineering, most notably in chemical and mechanical engineering. Over the past decades, Germany also has taken a lead in environmental sciences and information technology. In addition, Germany is now becoming an increasingly attractive place to pursue degrees in the technical fields. This course will provide practice and expansion in all language skill areas: analysis of texts, hands-on-activities, preparation of presentations, and discussion of topics. Specific areas of interest to the course members will be taken into consideration for the selection of materials. [Does not replace 210.362 as prerequisite for upper level courses or as major requirement.]

The best aspects of the course included the opportunity to discuss science and engineering topics in German and the understanding, flexible instructor. Some students felt that the course was somewhat disorganized and that there were not clear deadlines for assignments. Suggestions for improvement included having more structure and resources to complete assignments. Prospective students should be able to speak and write German well.
