The Stuyvesant High School Online Course Guide

---

Who should take this course?
German Level IV should be taken by students who have successfully completed German 6 and taken the Regents examination. Students considering this course should have a reasonably good ability to read and write German.

What will we be studying?
Students will be introduced to selected works of literature. In German FG7, students will first read short stories and then Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha. In German FG8, the reading will be Buchner's Woyzeck and Brecht's Dreigroschenoper. This class also prepares students interested in taking the Advanced Placement German Language exam.

What will be expected of me?
Students must complete the reading and hand in the written assignments on time. There will be no examinations but a research paper (in English) for each term as a project. Grades will be based on the written work handed in as well as on class participation.

How is the course taught?
Due to the small enrollment, this course involves self-discipline on the part of the students. The class will meet and work together as a group four days a week, and discuss their work together with Dr. Schwagermann the fifth day.

What are the completion requirements?
Students must hand in all of their required work, including the research paper.

Are there any special demands, costs, etc?
This class requires good working habits and self-discipline.
