• completing the assignments in each module
• participating actively in the discussion board activities
• earning a combined average of at least 60% on the proctored exams

Here is an overview of all of the different types of assignments in the course. You can find detailed directions for the assignments and the grading rubrics in the module where they are assigned.

Discussions

• You will use Discussion forums to submit writing and oral exercises

VHL Supersite

• In this course, you will need to have access to VHL Supersite, a website that provides all the tutorials, online homework, and assessments.  It creates online learning experiences that are truly personalized and continuously adaptive.

Exams

• There are four proctored exams in the course, two written exams and two oral exams.

Online Meeting

• We have assigned an optional Online Meeting time for each lesson. It is an optional real-time online meeting (we will use Zoom to host the meetings) where you can interact with me and other students as part of the learning process. Your participation in these meetings is crucial to your success in the class. I strongly recommend that you make an effort to participate in these meetings so you can practice what you have learned, ask questions, share learning experiences, and discuss anything of interest with your classmates. They will definitely help you learn German.

Oral Assignments

• You will use discussion forums to submit oral assignments.
