German Course Enrollment
Advisory placement test
To help you decide which lower-division German course will best match your current skills and knowledge, consider taking the advisory placement test. You are not obliged to accept the placement indicated by the result of your test. Consult the testing schedule for detailed dates and times.
Refreshing your language knowledge and skills
If it has been a while since you have taken German course work, you may wish to review your high school or college material before the quarter begins. You also may consult the following textbook used in first-year language classes:
Lovik,
T.A., Guy, J.D., & Chavez, M. (1997). Vorsprung: An Introduction to the
German Language and Culture for
Communication, Updated Edition. Boston: Houghton Mifflin.
Suggestions for study:
Review
your high school or college textbooks, as well as the tests you took for these
courses. Spend time rewriting
assignments and rereading texts from the last year of German you completed.
