5672 English for Designers
Campus: Unter den Eichen
This English course is open to all (upper division) Design students. Its goal is to provide students with the opportunity to improve their speaking skills and vocabulary through discussions and presentations on professionally relevant topics. While the focus of this seminar will not be grammar, the chance will be given to refresh previously learned language elements.
Students will receive a grade, based upon active participation and successful
completion of all assignments (in-class presentations, participation and a final exam).
This course has an attendance requirement: students must attend 75% of all
class meetings. Further absences will affect the
final grade. A 15-minute late arrival counts as a "half absence". There are 15
"participation points" which are reduced by missing more than
the allowed number of classes. Late assignments and presentations will also
affect the course grade.
