Opportunities for extra credit:

If you wish to replace a low quiz score or an unexcused absence, you can earn extra credit by attending a German cultural event and writing a one-page report (250-300 words) about your experience.

Your report must be typed and double-spaced and formatted according to the guidelines for formal papers. The first half of the paper should summarize the film or event; the second half should provide your response to the event, i.e. what you thought was good, not so good, and why.

Students in 1010 should write at least three sentences in German, incorporating structures and vocabulary from the chapter of Vorsprung on which we are working at the time of the event.

Students in 1020 should write 1/3 of the paper in German.

Students in 2010, 2020, 3100, and 3200 should write the entire paper in German.

Cultural events include but are not limited to

• screenings of German films (they must be in German, but can have English subtitles) in local theaters/at local universities
• attending local productions of German plays which are performed in German or English
• attending concerts where German music is performed
• attending WSU guest lectures on topics related to central Europe

To receive credit, you must get your instructor's approval BEFORE attending the event.

Your instructor will inform you of various events in the Metro area

A maximum of 3 extra-credit submissions will be accepted. No credit will be given for sloppy or plagiarized work.
