Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: This will be a 'blended learning' course, which means that we will be combining a few group class sessions with e-learning in the completion of two authentic translation projects. In the previous courses in this series, most of the participants demonstrated a great deal of responsibility in terms of their ability to work in teams, competence at translating difficult English texts from German into English, and tremendous ability to ensure a high level of quality in their translations. These qualities will be expected of the course participants this time around as well. As you can see from our course schedule, we will meet as a whole group only a few times this semester, tentatively on 1. 29 APRIL, 2. 8 June and 3. 13 July. We will use these sessions to 1) be introduced to the project and to working independently from a distance, 2) to review our work done by the middle of the semester and 3) to review and assess your progress over the course of the semester at the end. Like every e-learning course, the success of this one will be dependent on the course participants acting responsibly and dependably and with the necessary degree of patience to ensure the success of the course. Our project work will include, but will not be limited to, the translation of a number of short news items from the "Factory - Magazin für nachhaltiges Wirtschaften" website (http://www.factory-magazin.de), which you should definitely consult BEFORE signing up for the course. Other than looking carefully at the FACTORY website, no other preparation will be required prior to the beginning of the course. IT WILL BE ESSENTIAL FOR ALL COURSE MEMBERS TO ATTEND ALL ON-SITE WHOLE-GROUP SESSIONS! N.B.: ALL students enrolled in the course for "SEMINAR" credit will need to attend a few extra class sessions including one in the first week of the semester (22 April at 6:00 p.m. in Room 136) to help the instructor with the course project management, which will comprise the work to be done by seminar students for the additional 3 ECTS points. Seminar students are to bring their notebooks with them to these extra sessions as well!
