GER 589 "German Civilization" Third Assignment

Composing and Posting Entries for a "Research Log" or "Arbeitsjournal"

Because students will be taking the course in different locations, we will be using electronic communication techniques to collaborate and share ideas, compositions, and reader responses. 

For the third course assignment - which consists of writing ten mini-essays over the course of the semester - you will be using the Discussion Forum to post biographical entries.

These German mini-essays should be about 150-200 words in length, and to summarize your online activities, your readings, and your research for the week. Your writings will be shared electronically with your classmates. Over ten weeks, these ten entries will form a log or Arbeitsjournal of your semester activities, and reflect the course of your inquiries.

Please consult the course calendar for dates and deadlines concerning these essay assignments.

Online Assignment:  10 Essays posted on the Essays Forum This assignment comprises the composition of ten essays, and will require you to enter our online discussion forum. Compose these essays by describing your course work (readings, research, thoughts, ideas, questions) for the week. Consider your postings to be your log book entries as you sail through the course. You can write autobiographical reflections of your week's work, or scholarly summaries of your readings and inquiries, or diary entries summarizing your course activities.
