GERMAN.
Professor Edward.
Two courses in German are offered, six hours lectures a week
in each course. In the course for beginners no previous knowledge
of German is required. In preparation for the advanced course, at
As the work in both courses is arranged on the supposition
that the student in either course will devote at least eighteen hours a
week outside of lectures to the preparation for lectures and to parallel
reading, students taking either course are strongly urged to enroll
themselves for not more than one other course in the Summer School.
Students attaining a grade of 75% in either course will be given a
certificate of successful completion of the course in question. In
computing this grade, class standing is based on a daily written test
during the first fifteen minutes of the hour, covering the subject-matter
of the preceding lecture, and the other written work of the
class will be reckoned at 50%; and examination standing at 50%.
Unexcused absences are graded as zero. Excused absences may be
made up by taking in some other hour than that of the regular lecture
a written class test covering the regular class test for the day on
which the absence was recorded.

of German grammar (eighteen hours); reading of simple German

Note. Either course 2 or 3 will be given in 1909, depending upon
the choice of the students.
Credit.—The Beginner's Course is exactly equivalent to the second
term's work in German 1A in the regular session of the University,
and corresponding credits will be granted therefore by the
Dean of the University, to those students fulfilling the conditions set
forth on pages 14 and 15.
The advance course in German is exactly equivalent in character
and scope to the second term's work in German 2B in the regular
session of the University, and has been approved as such by the
Academic Faculty of the University. Corresponding credits therefore
will be granted by the Academic Faculty to the students successfully
completing this course, who have fulfilled conditions set forth
on pages 14 and 15.
