Focus on the development of advanced reading and writing skills in German. In particular, we will draw on a variety of authentic materials to develop students' ability to analyze and produce a range of genres; enhance students' awareness of pre-, during- and post-reading strategies and how to apply them to different styles of writing; improve use of strategies to help students become more autonomous readers/writers; and develop critical skills for reading, comprehending, and writing different types of texts.

I absolutely love Kelsey's class! She's a great professor and she never fails to brighten up her student's mood. If you have to fulfill a language requirement, do take her class! I've had her class from German 1 up until German 3. She's awesome! Very understanding and cooperative, just keep her informed and participate in class.

Kelsey definitely puts in extra work in order to see her students succeed. There is homework due every class, but shouldn't take longer than 10 min to complete. She gives out candy for the winners of daily games and gives feedback on all homework/quizzes/projects. Super nice and always has a smile on her face. She is the BEST!

Kelsey is amazing!!! Took her for Ger 1 & 2 and ended up falling in love with the language. Do the daily homework and pay attention in class to get an easy A. Love her.

I love Kelsey! She's so kind and thoughtful and makes class genuinely interesting and fun. You have a homework sheet every day, but it doesn't take too long and is actually helpful. Quizzes every Thursday, but she also provides a practice quiz that accurately reflects what'll be on it, so it's easy to study for.
