Architektur

Undergraduate / Graduate

This course develops advanced German skills through the study of architecture. The theme, readings, and architectural era for the course change on a yearly basis. For this year's course description, see the German language program's website. All advanced German courses serve to prepare students for seminar-style classes conducted entirely in German, both those offered in the Germanic Studies department at UChicago (see undergraduate courses) and those included in study abroad opportunities (see https://study-abroad.uchicago.edu/). Students will learn to participate and present in instructor- and student-led discussions. Assignments specifically related to grammar, structure, and vocabulary move students toward more idiomatic use of German. Writing paragraph-length responses and short research papers are also part of these courses.
