Woher kommst du?

Studenten und Studentinnen!
Test Update.
Kapitel Eins Prüfung is printed and ready to go. In the listening section, you will have a dictation section and questions to answer in German. In the structure section, you will create sentences using sentence elements, rearrange elements in a sentence, and translate from English to German. In the writing section, you will write a conversation between a professor and a student, and in the reading section, you will complete a true/false section about the Smith Family.
Let's talk about the homework. What do you do when I give you an assignment that you are unsure of? First of all, don't give up! Look closely at the patterns and examples and try to imitate them as closely as possible. When I assign you a task that we've NOT discussed, I'm trying to find out if you can solve the exercises by yourselves by reading the explanations in the text.
If you are still uncertain about the exercise, you have some other ways to solve the problem. Go to the Language Lab and ask for Max, who has studied German. E-mail me and ask for help. I check my mail each evening, or find me in Irby during my office hours, or drop by Harrin during my advising hours. If I'm not helping a student there, you can pop in and ask me your questions.
Finally, don't get discouraged. I'm not grading such homework for correctness. I'm looking for your ability to solve problems and make an effort, so give it your best shot!
Don't forget that Brady has offered to form a study group. It's much easier to remember something if you have someone to study with.
