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.

Most caring and amazing teacher ever!!! makes learning German so easy and its genuinely impossible to get below a B+ in her class as long as you show up for attendance. Midterm and quizzes are so easy and exactly like the practice quizzes and there is no final during finals week, just a project in week 10.

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.
