掌握新詞彙
日常基礎訓練中，在練習本（8x11筆記本）上寫下對每篇指定閱讀材料的「4句摘要」和一個討論問題。練習本的另一部分用於記錄課程中選出的5個詞彙。對這些詞彙進行連續編號並給出每個詞彙的詞彙學訊息，同義詞或用德語作簡短的釋義，一到兩個同詞源或同語義家族的詞，並造句來說明該詞彙的用法（需參考閱讀資料）。以求徹底地掌握這些詞彙。請每天將您的「練習本」帶到課堂上。

提示
嚴格控制下的課程安排是基於以下教學法：成功習得外國語言的秘訣在於每天堅持不懈的努力，經常練習和不斷地重複。因此，我不接受遲交的作業，包括論文，除非你事先得到我的延期許可。如果由於緊急情況或是缺眠少覺使你不能預習功課，不要不作聲。在上課開始時告訴我，我們會盡力處理好這樣的情況。

On a daily basis you will write a 4-sentence summary of each assigned reading and 1 discussion question in your Kladde (8x11 notebook). In another section of your "Kladde" enter the 5 items of vocabulary selected by the class. Number the items consecutively, and for each item give lexical information, a synonym or short explanation in German, one or two words of the same etymological or semantic family, and your own sentence to illustrate usage (should refer to the readings). Learn this material thoroughly. Please bring your "Kladde" to class each day.
Prüfungen
2 hour exams, 4 vocabulary quizzes (no final exam).
Endnote
40% class participation (includes, written preparation, "Kladde" and active daily discussion), 30% essays, 30% tests. If, however, you fail any one of these categories you will necessarily fail the course.
Daily preparation and attendance is mandatory, more than three unexcused absences lowers participation grade automatically.
Ein Hinweis
There is a pedagogical reason for the strict and controlled organization of this course: the secret of success in foreign language acquisition lies in sustained daily effort, frequent practice, and constant repetition. Therefore, I will not accept late homework, including essays, unless you have gotten an extension from me beforehand. If an emergency situation or sleep deprivation should prevent you from preparing for class, don't stay away. Tell me at the beginning of class and we will try to make the best of the situation.
